Real Property Auctions
Delinquent property taxes on real property accounts which are three (3) or more years delinquent, are subject to foreclosure.
Prospective Buyers
The foreclosure tax sale is held online annually, usually in the month of February, at Bid4Assets.com. The list of properties subject to tax sale is available each December and interested buyers can visit our storefront to view the listings, property information and title reports. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to research each property extensively prior to participating in the sale.
In order to participate in the tax sale, prospective buyers must register with Bid4Assets and submit a $2,500.00 deposit plus a $35.00 processing fee by the posted registration deadline.
Homeowners subject to foreclosure may redeem properties from tax foreclosure until the day before the auction and many properties will be removed prior to the sale date.
Tax-Title Auctions
Properties offered at a prior tax foreclosure auction that did not receive the minimum bid are conveyed to Clark County and are held in "tax-title" status. Upon order of the Clark County Council, the Treasurer may sell these properties at public auction under the conditions of RCW 36.35.120.
The Treasurer is holding an online auction at Bid4Assets.com for tax-title properties on September 1, 2026. In order to participate in the tax sale, prospective buyers must register with Bid4Assets and submit a $2,500.00 deposit plus a $35.00 processing fee by the posted registration deadline. To review the full terms of participating in the auction, please review our Terms of Sale.
