MOBILE HOME DISTRAINT SALES

Tough collection provisions in the law direct the Treasurer to seize and sell mobile homes when taxes become delinquent.

The Kitsap County Treasurer may conduct several distraint auctions per year, as necessary. They are held in the Kitsap County Administration Building lobby.

Anyone considering buying property at a Treasurer's sale should be aware that there is risks.  When selling a mobile home, the County conveys the entirety of the interest that it is legally capable of transferring, unless otherwise noted.  However, the County does not guarantee or provide warranty as to the extent of the interest.  The County makes no guarantees whatsoever on mobile homes sold at Treasurer's distraint sales.

Inventory lists will be available on this website and at the Treasurer's Office before the auction, whenever an auction is scheduled.

All bidders must be registered. You may register the morning of the auction. No changes to the registration can be made after the sale. There is no registration fee. When registering, a copy of the mobile home auction terms of sale will be provided.

We accept only cash or cashier checks payable to Kitsap County Treasurer. Absolutely no personal or business checks will be accepted. Those wishing to bid must be present or have a representative present at the auction.

The auctioneer announces the minimum bid for each item. These are oral auctions. To bid, call out the bid amount. Each item is sold to the highest bidder.  Once an item is sold, the successful bidder must immediately step forward and pay in full.

If payment is not made as required, the item is re-auctioned. A successful bidder who does not pay will not be allowed to bid on any other items at the auction.
