How Clark 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.

Sale list
Upcoming Tax Deed Sales, eligible parcel list
When it runs
Clark County has no recurring tax deed auction date, and no sale is scheduled. The Treasurer's Upcoming Tax Deed Sales page is described as the complete list of parcels delinquent before 2023 that are eligible for tax deed and auction in 2026. It currently lists no eligible parcels, and the Date of Sale column reads NA. Idaho sets no statewide sale date: the board schedules an auction only after the county takes a deed, and Idaho Code 31-808 gives it fourteen months to sell.
Registration and deposit

There is no bidder registration form, deposit portal or online bidding. The commissioners set a minimum bid that covers the delinquent taxes, interest and costs. They sell to the highest bidder and may reject any bid. Since nothing is scheduled, call the Treasurer at 208-374-5455 to ask whether any parcel has reached tax deed. Confirm the auction time, location and accepted payment before traveling to Dubois.

Sale format and venue
The Treasurer's Upcoming Tax Deed Sales page publishes the tax deed list, and it is the one place to watch. It currently shows no eligible parcels and no sale date. Sales are rare here: the county's excess funds notice says the last auction that produced excess funds was held in 2008. Idaho sells no tax lien certificates, so there is no certificate, interest rate or bid-down bidding. The county takes a tax deed on parcels three years delinquent under Idaho Code 63-1005 through 63-1011 and then resells county-owned land. Redemption ends once the commissioners enter a contract of sale, so a winning bidder does not wait out a redemption period. The county names no online auction platform, so expect a live auction and confirm the room with the Treasurer at 208-374-5455 or the courthouse at 208-374-5304.

Clark County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Clark County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid. If the parcels on this list are vacant land rather than houses, what buying land at a tax sale hands you is the place to start.

  1. Confirm the advertised parcel list

    Use Upcoming Tax Deed Sales, eligible parcel list as a starting reference. Check which sale or list it covers; a Lands Available or office information page is separate from an auction parcel list. Ask the sale office for the advertised parcels for the auction you plan to attend.

  2. Register to bid

    There is no bidder registration form, deposit portal or online bidding. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    Clark County has no recurring tax deed auction date, and no sale is scheduled. The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the Clark County Board of County Commissioners before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use the Clark County Board of County Commissioners as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Clark County

  1. Confirm the parcel list before pricing

    Open Upcoming Tax Deed Sales, eligible parcel list. Confirm whether this reference contains the auction parcels or covers a different list. Get the advertised parcel list from the county before you price a bid, and recheck it before the sale.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    There is no bidder registration form, deposit portal or online bidding. The commissioners set a minimum bid that covers the delinquent taxes, interest and costs. They sell to the highest bidder and may reject any bid. Since nothing is scheduled, call the Treasurer at 208-374-5455 to ask whether any parcel has reached tax deed. Confirm the auction time, location and accepted payment before traveling to Dubois.

  3. Check the state rules that change the bid

    Read the Idaho due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth. Which liens survive is state law, so read what survives a tax deed in Idaho before you price the title work.

  4. Set a walk-away number

    Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.

County notes

  • The Treasurer publishes the tax deed list on the Upcoming Tax Deed Sales page. It currently shows no eligible parcels and no sale date. The page calls it the complete list of parcels delinquent before 2023 that are eligible for tax deed and auction in 2026, so watch that table for any 2026 sale.
  • Idaho sells no tax lien certificates. Clark County takes a tax deed on parcels three years delinquent and then resells them, so a buyer gets county-owned land, not a certificate. There is no interest rate to earn and no bid-down bidding.
  • Redemption ends when the commissioners enter into a contract of sale, so a successful bidder does not wait out a redemption period.
  • Auctions are infrequent in this county. The Treasurer's excess funds notice reports that the last auction producing excess funds was held in 2008, so call the office rather than waiting for a posted date.
  • There is no online auction platform or bidder registration portal. Contact 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 in the same city and zip code.
  • The Board of County Commissioners sets the minimum bid and runs the auction. Its remaining 2026 regular meetings are October 12, November 9 and December 14, held in the Commissioners' Chambers at 224 W. Main Street in Dubois. Agendas are finalized the Thursday before each meeting, and the Clerk is at 208-374-5304.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clark County, Idaho sell tax liens or tax deeds?

Clark County holds tax deed sales once a year. Clark County has no recurring tax deed auction date, and no sale is scheduled. Each sale is scheduled and advertised in advance, so check the county's tax deed calendar for the next posted date.

I own a property in this sale. Can I stop it?

It depends on where the property is in the process. Once the redemption right below has ended, paying the old taxes no longer takes it out of the sale. Idaho's redemption rule: None for the buyer. The former owner's right to redeem ends when the county commissioners enter into a contract of sale or transfer the property by county deed, and expires in any case fourteen months after the tax deed was issued to the county. Call the Clark County Board of County Commissioners as early as possible for your exact payoff and options; deadlines are strict.
