When it runs
Sales are scheduled case by case as foreclosure judgments mature rather than in a fixed annual month. The firm's live listing table showed four Anson County parcels set for sale on 8/27/2026 at 2:00 PM, each with an upset-bid close date of 9/8/2026; listings without a posted sale date are not yet open for bidding.
Registration and deposit
Sale format and venue
Auctions are held in person, usually outside, at the Anson County Courthouse, 114 N. Greene St., Wadesboro, NC 28170; no online bidding platform is used for this county. The opening bid covers delinquent taxes, court costs, and attorney fees. A 10-day upset-bid period under G.S. 1-339.25 follows each sale: upset bids are filed with the Clerk of Court on the first floor of the courthouse (704-994-3800, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday) and must raise the prior bid by at least 5 percent, restarting the 10-day clock each time. After confirmation the buyer receives a Commissioner's Deed to record with the Anson County Register of Deeds.

North Carolina rules
- Redemption
- North Carolina has no fixed redemption period of the certificate-state type and no post-sale redemption right. In a G.S. 105-374 foreclosure, redemption is allowed before confirmation of the foreclosure sale: paying the taxes, penalties, interest, and costs discontinues the action, and the clerk may confirm the sale once 10 days pass after the report of sale with no upset bid or exception. In an in rem foreclosure, payment in full of the docketed judgment with interest and costs requires the tax collector to certify the payment and cancel the judgment. Because every sale also sits through the 10-day upset bid window, an owner in either path retains a last window to pay after the auction itself but before the sale is final.
- Deed deposit
- At a G.S. 105-374 sale the commissioner may require the successful bidder to make a deposit of up to 20 percent of the bid; no deposit may be required of a taxing unit. An upset bidder always files a deposit of 5 percent of the upset bid, minimum $750, with the clerk.
- Surplus proceeds
- Sale proceeds are applied first to the costs of the action, including the commissioner's and attorneys' fees, then to the taxes, penalties, and interest of the foreclosing unit, then to special assessments and the taxes of other taxing units. Any surplus is paid as the court directs or held by the clerk of superior court, where the former owner, junior lienholders, and other claimants can file a special proceeding under G.S. 1-339.71 to establish ownership of the funds.
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.
