Liens that survive

Tax sale certificate is not ownership. Mortgages, federal liens, municipal demolition/code liens, and environmental issues are common in older industrial cities — full search required before bidding and before deed.

Quiet title

After tax deed, title insurers typically require quiet title before insuring marketable title, especially on vacant or multi-lien urban parcels.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.
