Real Property Sales

The county treasurer conducts approximately three real property auctions per year. There are different types of property sold at treasurer's sales. This portion of the web site offers general information on:

The number of parcels auctioned varies greatly from sale to sale. An auction may have anywhere from one parcel to hundreds of parcels. Because they vary so much in size, the location of the auctions may also vary to accommodate the number of people attending.

We do not sell "tax lien certificates" or "deeds" of any nature.  In some states you may purchase a certificate of some kind showing that you paid the delinquent taxes however, we do not have any information on this procedure as there is no provision for it in Washington State law.

Kitsap County does not maintain a mailing list to notify people of each year's tax foreclosure.  Our list is on our website in August and published in in the local newspapers by the beginning of September.
