Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-283 requires all property to be appraised at its true value in money, which the statute defines as market value. There is no classification ratio and no county variation in the ratio itself — only in how recently it was measured. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Completed judicial foreclosure often supports marketable title; quiet title still used when notice defects or coastal chain issues exist.
North Carolina judicial tax-deed foreclosure (N.C.G.S. 105-374). Carteret County (Beaufort / Morehead City / Crystal Coast) tax foreclosure sales conducted by outside counsel Mewborn & DeSelms on the Carteret County Courthouse steps (unless notice says otherwise). Notice advertised in two newspapers and posted at courthouse at least 20 days prior. 20% cash or certified funds deposit required; bidder must be present. 10-day upset bid period (minimum 5% of original bid) filed with Clerk of Superior Court, 2nd Floor — status not given by phone. Sold AS IS; subject to outstanding taxes/assessments not included in judgment. Coastal flood, CAMA, and windstorm DD is critical before bidding.
Inherited from North Carolina rather than researched for Carteret: type, redemption, returns, statute.
