When it runs
Registration and deposit
There is no bidder registration form, no deposit portal and no online bidding for Clark County. The commissioners set a minimum bid covering the delinquent taxes, interest and costs, sell to the highest bidder, and may reject any bid. Because nothing is scheduled, the working route is to call the Treasurer at 208-374-5455 to ask whether any parcel has reached tax deed, then get the auction time, the location and the accepted payment terms before traveling to Dubois.

County notes
- The Treasurer publishes the tax deed list online at Upcoming Tax Deed Sales, and it currently shows no eligible parcels and no sale date. The page describes what it holds as a complete list of parcels delinquent prior to 2023 that are eligible for tax deed and subsequent auction in 2026, so watch that table for a 2026 sale.
- Idaho sells no tax lien certificates. Clark County takes a tax deed on parcels three years delinquent and then resells them, so what you buy is county-owned land rather than a certificate. There is no interest rate to earn and no bid-down bidding.
- Redemption ends the moment the commissioners enter into a contract of sale, so a successful bidder takes the property without waiting out a redemption period.
- Auctions are infrequent in this county. The Treasurer's excess funds document reports that the last auction producing excess funds was held in 2008, so call rather than wait for a scheduled date.
- There is no online auction platform and no bidder registration portal. Reach Treasurer Lana Schwartz at 208-374-5455, or the courthouse at 208-374-5304, 224 W. Main Street, Dubois, ID 83423. Mail goes to P.O. Box 7 at the same city and zip.
- The Board of County Commissioners sets the minimum bid and conducts the auction. It meets on the second Monday of each month in the Commissioners' Chambers at 224 W. Main Street in Dubois, and the Clerk finalizes agendas the Thursday before each meeting.
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.
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.
