Upset Sale
Prospective bidders must register prior to the sale. DUE TO NEW LEGISLATION PASSED ON JUNE 25, 2021 AND EFFECTIVE AUGUST 29, 2021, IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN PERSON AND NO LESS THAN TEN DAYS PRIOR TO EACH TAX SALE. THEREFORE, REGISTRATION OPENS AUGUST 10, 2026 AT 8:00AM AND CLOSES AUGUST 28, 2026 AT 4:00PM. Registration and certification forms are available in the Tax Claim Bureau and online at www.lehighcountytaxclaim.com. All prospective bidders must present one (1) form of photo identification at the time of registration and on the date of the sale. Failure to present photo identification at the time of registration will prevent a prospective bidder from being registered to bid. Failure to present photo identification on the date of the sale will prevent the bidder from receiving his bidder number and thus barring the registered bidder from having the opportunity to bid on property. Only the registered bidder may attend the sale using the bidder number provided by the Bureau. Use of the bidder number by individuals other than the registered bidder is prohibited and may nullify a successful bid.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Pennsylvania has no statewide assessment ratio. Counties assess against their own base years, some decades old, and the State Tax Equalization Board publishes a Common Level Ratio per county each year. Always use the county ratio. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
