The easiest way to find out about tax lien/deed sales for a particular area requires that you never even have to leave your pajamas.  Log onto the internet and do a search for "tax sale" and the county that you are interested in.  Several states/counties have automated their systems so that bids can be received via the internet but most states have not.  Do the search and determine which counties will be having tax sales.  It may help to have a list of the particular state's counties handy to refer from.

 

In some cases the county will list those properties being offered.  In others, you may have to contact that county's tax assessors office to get the details of the sale.  In addition to receiving information on properties the tax assessors office will be able to provide the specific time and date of sale, location, bidding method and any details that the tax assessor's office finds relevant.  Some states employ the services of law firms to handle the details of the sale.  The name of the law firm will normally be supplied by the tax assessors office.  Texas is one such state.

 

Most counties have websites and from here you can easily link to your county's tax assessor.  In some cases, the tax sale is called a Sheriff's Sale or Sheriff's Tax Sale so you may need to add these keywords to your search.
