When it runs
Registration and deposit
No advance registration is required. The county's auction list states: "You do not need to register with the county to bid at auction." Bidders come to the courthouse foyer and bid on each parcel over its published minimum. Cash and cashier's checks are the accepted forms of payment, and the sale notice states that payment is expected at the conclusion of the sale. All sales are final and binding, and the commissioners reserve the right to accept or reject any or all bids.

County notes
- The county posts its tax deed auction list and a countywide unpaid tax listing on the Treasurer and Tax Collector page under Hearings/Auctions/Notices. The auction list carries the county's own caution that it "is for informational purposes only and may change before the time of the auction."
- Sale notices run in the Standard Journal for two consecutive weeks before the auction. The 2026 notice was published July 24 and July 31 for an August 10 sale, and the 2025 notice August 1 and August 8 for an August 18 sale. A bidder watching for the next date should follow that paper as well as the county page.
- Minimum bids are small. The four parcels offered on August 10, 2026 opened between $1,267.64 and $4,351.44, and one parcel at the 2025 sale opened at $395.43.
- Three of the four parcels offered in August 2026 were subdivision lots at Island Park in the county's recreational north end, the fourth a townsite lot in Newdale. The five parcels on the pending 2027 list sit in St. Anthony, Ashton and Teton and are all 2022 tax-year delinquencies.
- Call the Tax Collector at 208-624-7200 extension 2 for auction questions, and the Clerk's office at 208-624-7200 extension 5 for deed or lien information on a listed parcel.
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.
