Two systems. A deed sale = you pay and you own it. A lien/certificate = you pay, then wait out a redemption period; if the owner pays you back you get cash + interest (not the land), and only if they don't do you foreclose to a deed.
π’ AZ Mohave β over-the-counter tax DEED: pay the listed amount to the County Treasurer β you own it (plus small recording fees). The most direct.
π‘ AZ Navajo β over-the-counter tax LIEN: pay the listed amount to buy the lien β ~3-yr redemption β if unpaid, foreclose (~$1β2k) for the deed.
π‘ SC Greenville β fall AUCTION: listed amount is the opening bid; you bid at the sale β 12-mo redemption β deed if not redeemed.
π΅ SD Meade β inventory only, no price: county-held certificates. Call the Meade County Treasurer with the parcel # to ask redemption status + when it goes to a tax-deed sale.
π΅ WY Sublette / Park β county LIEN sale (Sublette ~July, Park ~Aug): contact the county treasurer or attend the sale.
βͺ NM Torrance / Valencia β state DEED auction: none scheduled right now; rows appear when the state posts one.
Flags: NO_ROAD_NEARBY = possibly landlocked, verify access Β· NO_PRICING = no buy price in the source (a research lead, not free) Β· CHEAP / VACANT = good signals.
Always click map β and check the parcel before paying β access, terrain, and whether it's really what you think.
