Why should I sell tax sales online?
Your Agency Stays in Control
With our easy-to-use platform, your agency is given the ability to list auctions for a preview for 30-45 days ahead of the 1-3 day bidding period, giving time to approve or decline each bidder based on whether they’ve met your requirements. We recommend a bid deposit/fee, photo ID, and confirmation that the individual is not delinquent on real estate taxes within your municipality.
The Process is Simple
Whether you are a government agency with many properties or just a few, you likely don't want to take the time and effort to create each listing individually and then market your property to interested buyers. GovDeals takes care of the marketing and creates the auction listings for you! We only ask that you provide us with an Excel document containing addresses, minimum bids, parcel #’s, and any other information you deem fit.
The Transition from On-site to Online is Easy
We have an A+ rating with BBB and an experienced Customer Service team that has helped many government agencies (and their bidders) make the transition to online auctions for their real estate sales. We will contact all your previous bidders and walk them through the easy registration form on our site.

As soon as the final auction has closed, a customizable sold asset report is available to your agency. Upon request, your Account Manager can export the report and email it to your team the same day of the sale.
