Pennsylvania tax sales: how they work
- Sale type
- Tax deed (upset, judicial, then repository)
- Redemption period
- Pennsylvania has no post-sale right of redemption for most counties. Owners may pay in full up to the day before the upset sale.
- Interest rate
- n/a (Pennsylvania is a deed state, not a lien state)
- Bidding format
- Upset sale (subject to liens), then judicial sale (free and clear), then repository, where unsold parcels are available by written bid at any time.
Pennsylvania sells tax-delinquent property through county Tax Claim Bureaus in three stages. Parcels unsold at judicial sale land in the county repository, where they can be bought by written bid for as little as a few hundred dollars, subject to approval by the county, municipality and school district.
