Where Do I find Tax Deed Sales?

Normally, the Office of the Comptroller (or something of a very similar name) will be the office that handles tax deed sales in the county that you are looking to purchase tax deeds in.  In order to find tax deed sales, you basically have several options.

1)  You can search online for them by typing the county name, state, and the words tax deed.  You can use whatever search engine you are most comfortable with - I recommend Google, but Bing or Yahoo is likely to deliver the same kind of results.

2) You can call 411 (or whatever passes for directory assistance where you are) and simply ask for your county's Office of the Comptroller's number.  They should provide you with this information easily enough (and you can likely search directly for this online as well).

3) An oft overlooked method of finding tax deed sales is to simply look in your local newspaper.  Almost any newspaper with a decent circulation will be sure to have these listed somewhere - in most newspapers that I see for small counties, this is often found at the beginning of the classified section.

Keep in mind that counties are at different levels of technological savvy, so you may not always be able to find a website for the county that you wish to look for tax deeds in.  However, you can be certain that they are indeed selling tax deeds in that county, so be steadfast in searching and your diligence will pay off - potentially in a very big way!
