How Bannock County sells delinquent taxes

No tax lien certificate sale

Idaho sells no tax lien certificate to investors. Under Idaho Code 63-1001 a delinquency has the force and effect of a sale to the county tax collector as grantee in trust for the county, so the county is the only party that ever holds the delinquency.

When it runs
The sale has run each autumn on a Tuesday afternoon at the Bannock County Courthouse: September 30, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., October 29, 2024 at 1:30 p.m., November 7, 2023 at 1:30 p.m., and October 25, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. The 2025 notice reads: "The following described property will be offered for sale on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in room 212 of the Bannock County Courthouse at 624 E. Center Street in the City of Pocatello, Bannock County, Idaho." Idaho fixes no statewide sale date and the county has not posted a date for the next one, so watch the county events calendar and call the Commissioners' Office at 208-236-7210.
Registration and deposit

Bidding is in person in room 212 of the Bannock County Courthouse, 624 E. Center Street, Pocatello. The Sheriff opens each parcel at the opening bid printed in the notice of sale and sells to the highest bidder for cash or lawful money of the United States. The notice sets out no pre-registration step and no bidder deposit, and it requires the successful bidder to complete the transaction by 5:00 p.m. on the sale date or the sale is void. The Board of Bannock County Commissioners reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Confirm bidding terms with the Commissioners' Office at 208-236-7210 before the sale.

Sale format and venue
Idaho sells no tax lien certificates. Bannock County takes a tax deed to itself after three years of delinquency, then the Board of Bannock County Commissioners orders the land sold at public auction under Idaho Code 31-808 and the Bannock County Sheriff conducts the sale. Bidding is in person in room 212 of the Bannock County Courthouse at 624 E. Center Street in Pocatello, and there is no online auction platform. Every parcel carries a published opening bid set to cover back taxes, late charges, interest and costs, and the 2025 sale offered 12 parcels with several opening bids under $700. The county publishes the parcel list as a Notice of Sale PDF attached to the sale listing on its events calendar, and advertises the same notice in a local newspaper at least ten days ahead as Idaho Code 31-808 requires; the 2025 notice was published September 6 and 13 for a September 30 sale. The notice states that Bannock County does not guarantee clear title when a county deed is issued and that any property may have liens or encumbrances. Redemption ends when the commissioners contract to sell, so a winning bidder takes the parcel with the former owner's redemption right already gone.

County notes

  • The Bannock County Treasurer handles delinquent property taxes and the tax deed that moves a parcel to the county, while the Board of Bannock County Commissioners handles the auction that resells it. Send bidding questions to the Commissioners' Office at 208-236-7210 and delinquency or payoff questions to the Treasurer at 208-236-7220.
  • The auction has landed on a Tuesday afternoon in room 212 of the Bannock County Courthouse every year since 2022, most recently at 2:00 p.m. after several years at 1:30 p.m. Check the posted notice for the hour rather than assuming it.
  • Payment is cash or lawful money of the United States, and the notice requires the transaction to be finished by 5:00 p.m. on the sale date or the sale is void. Bring settled funds to the courthouse.
  • The parcels offered are mostly bare ground: irregular townsite blocks, narrow strips created by survey gaps, and undeveloped subdivision lots around Pocatello, Downey and Inkom. Read the legal description and any record of survey named in the notice before bidding, because several parcels have no road frontage or usable shape.
  • Bannock County does not guarantee clear title when it issues a county deed, and the notice warns that any property may carry liens or encumbrances. Budget for a quiet title action or a title review before treating a winning bid as marketable land.

Idaho rules

Redemption
The window belongs to the county's holding period, not to the auction. After the tax deed issues to the county, the record owner or a party in interest may redeem by paying the delinquency with late charges, accrued interest and costs including title search and professional fees, plus the taxes that accrued after the deed. That right runs only up to the moment the commissioners enter into a contract of sale or the property is transferred by county deed. Fourteen months after issuance it expires regardless. Since 31-808 requires the auction within those same fourteen months, a buyer at the county auction takes the property with the redemption already extinguished, and the tax deed is presumptive evidence of the regularity of everything before it.
Deed deposit
No statutory deposit. The commissioners set a minimum bid covering all property taxes owing, interest and costs, and the parcel goes to the highest bidder over it. Payment terms are set by each county's own terms of sale, so confirm them before you bid.
Governing statute
Idaho Code title 63, chapter 10

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.
