Official websiteCounty notes
- Yadkin County posts tax foreclosure sale notices directly on its own website (Tax Department page 384); neither Kania Law Firm nor Zacchaeus Legal Services is named on the county sale page, and the ZLS site does not mention Yadkin County.
- Sales follow the NC mortgage-style path: District Court order, court-appointed commissioner, sale at the courthouse door at noon, 20 percent cash deposit, and the statutory upset-bid process under N.C.G.S. 1-339.25.
- The sale page's current notice (County of Yadkin vs. Kelvin Roberts, Fall Creek Township, parcel 144244) advertised a March 2, 2026 sale date that has now passed, so the page may lag between foreclosure cycles; the pattern facts (venue, noon start, deposit, upset bids) are stable.
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.
