How Conecuh County sells delinquent taxes
Tax certificate sale (lien)
- Run by
- Conecuh County Revenue Commissioner
- Frequency
- annual
- Typical timing
- No county-published sale date was found. GovEase states that "All auction dates (opening registration, pre-bidding, and live bidding) are determined by each county tax office in compliance with the applicable Alabama Code." The GovEase live auction calendar listed 8 auctions when checked on 2026-07-25 and included no Alabama county, consistent with Alabama lien auctions running in the spring. Confirm the date with the Revenue Commissioner before relying on it.
- Next expected
- between March 1 and June 15, 2027 (window; exact date posts closer to the sale)
Registration and deposit
Register through GovEase. Create a bidder account at govease.com, then open Register/Add Auctions under My Account, select the county, and e-sign the county registration documents. GovEase instructs bidders to complete the approval limit field and upload any county-required documents such as a bank statement or balance letter, and notes that "Some counties may also require a deposit to get approved." You may bid once the county shows Approved on the My Registrations page. Conecuh is on GovEase's list of Alabama counties that allow online payments through the GovEase website. Bidding is bid-down on interest: "The maximum bid is 12% simple interest per annum, prorated monthly. The lowest acceptable bid is 0% per annum. Bidding can be in 1% increments."
Conecuh County appears on GovEase's official Alabama county roster, which lists the county auction contact as Anita Lee / Tammy Floyd at 251-578-1890, and on GovEase's list of Alabama counties that accept online payments through the GovEase portal. Those two platform pages are the only county-specific confirmation found that the sale runs online through GovEase. The county publishes no tax lien sale page of its own: the Conecuh County Commission site at conecuhcounty.us returned HTTP 404 on every path tested on 2026-07-25, and no Revenue Commissioner domain resolves. The county's public GIS site and its online tax payment portal carry no sale, delinquent list, or auction information. The Alabama Department of Revenue transcript page for Conecuh exists but is an empty stub with no delinquent land transcript attached, which is consistent with a county that sells liens at auction rather than striking property off to the state. Call the office to confirm the sale date, registration deadline, and any deposit requirement.
Register on GovEaseFrom lien to deed
- Run by
- Circuit court of the county; the circuit clerk executes the deed
- Frequency
- none (court action, not a scheduled auction)
- Typical timing
- Not scheduled. A certificate holder may file no earlier than four years after the tax lien auction and no later than ten years after it
Alabama counties on the tax lien auction method hold no separate tax deed auction. Title passes only through a circuit court action to foreclose the right to redeem and quiet title, which ends in a circuit clerk's deed. A person entitled to redeem can answer that action by demanding a public auction instead, in which case the court sets a minimum bid equal to the redemption amount plus back taxes and allowed costs, and any surplus goes to the owner. A county that instead elects the Article 1 property tax sale sells the land itself at the courthouse and the judge of probate issues a deed after three years. Confirm which method your county uses.
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
Liens that draw no bid at the auction stay with the county. At any time after the auction date the tax collecting official may sell an unsold lien at private sale for no less than all taxes, interest, penalties, costs and fees due, plus any amount owed to a prior certificate holder. The rate is agreed with the tax collecting official and cannot exceed 12 percent, so over-the-counter liens often carry the full rate. Ask the county for its list of unsold liens.

Official websiteNotes for Conecuh County
- Revenue Commissioner is Jimmy Bell; the Alabama Department of Revenue lists the office phone as 251-578-7019, appraisal office 251-578-7026, and fax 251-578-7002.
- GovEase lists a separate Conecuh auction contact line, 251-578-1890, which is the same number shown on the county's online tax payment portal.
- There is no working Conecuh County government website: www.conecuhcounty.us and conecuhcounty.us both returned HTTP 404 at the root and at /home, /sitemap.xml, /revenue, /revenue-commissioner, /tax, and /departments on 2026-07-25.
- Two county-facing web properties do exist and were verified: the public GIS and property search at conecuh.alabamagis.com/conecuh/ and the Revenue Commissioner's online services portal at altags.com/conecuh_revenue/ (renew tags, view and pay property taxes, file a business personal property return). Neither mentions the tax lien sale.
- State-held inventory: the Alabama Department of Revenue sells its tax delinquent properties by price quote application, and a buyer has 10 calendar days from the price quote date to remit payment. The ADOR transcript page for Conecuh is currently empty.
- No county-specific sale date, registration deadline, deposit amount, or delinquent list URL was found on any official page, so those fields are left unstated rather than guessed.
Alabama statewide rules
- Redemption
- A tax lien can be redeemed at any time before the circuit court enters judgment in a foreclosure action, and the holder cannot file that action until four years after the auction or the tax official's private sale. If the holder does not commence a foreclosure action within ten years of the auction or sale, the certificate expires and the lien becomes void. A certificate holder has no right to enter or possess the property, make repairs, or charge rents before it receives the circuit clerk's deed. In a county that uses the Article 1 property tax sale instead, land sold to a purchaser other than the state may be redeemed within three years from the date of sale, and land bid in for the state may be redeemed at any time before title passes out of the state.
- Surplus proceeds
- In a court-ordered auction the proceeds pay the cost of the auction first, then the certificate holder up to the redemption amount plus taxes it paid before filing and the court-allowed costs and fees. Any surplus goes to the owner or the owner's heirs or successors as the court determines, and Alabama's unclaimed property law applies to whatever is left. In a county that instead uses the Article 1 property tax sale, the excess over the decree is held in a separate county account for three years for a party who redeems, and Section 40-10-28 opens later windows in which the owner or a redeeming party can claim it.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
