How Eddy County sells delinquent taxes

No tax lien certificate sale

North Dakota sells no tax lien certificate to investors. Under N.D.C.C. 57-28-09 the county auditor issues the tax deed to the county itself once the lien is foreclosed, so the county is the only party ever holding the delinquency.

When it runs
Annually on the third Tuesday of November at 10:00 a.m. The county's published notice set its auction for "Tuesday, November 21, 2023, beginning at 10:00 A.M."
Registration and deposit

Bidding is in person at the Auditor's office, 524 Central Avenue in New Rockford. The notice sets no advance registration and no deposit. Parcels are offered separately and sold to the highest qualified bidder, but not for a sum less than the published minimum sale price, and payment must be made by cash or check.

Sale format and venue
Eddy County runs a live, in person tax deed auction at the County Auditor's office. The county has already taken tax deed to the parcels it offers, so a bidder buys the deed itself rather than a lien or an interest rate. Each parcel is offered separately with a published minimum sale price, and the county sells it as is: the notice disclaims any guarantee of title, location or condition and any liability for liens, encumbrances, easements or code compliance.

Eddy County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Eddy 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. Get the advertised list

    Use Notice of Sale of Real Estate Forfeited to the County for Delinquent Taxes for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Bidding is in person at the Auditor's office, 524 Central Avenue in New Rockford. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the county office before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Eddy County Auditor as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Eddy County

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Notice of Sale of Real Estate Forfeited to the County for Delinquent Taxes. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

County notes

  • Eddy County is one of North Dakota's smallest counties and its tax deed auctions are correspondingly small. The county's published notice offered three adjoining city lots in Greeleys Addition, City of New Rockford, each at a minimum sale price of $170.90.
  • The county posts its sale notice in the news section of eddycountynd.org ahead of the November auction. Call the Auditor at (701) 947-2434 to confirm the current year's parcel list, legal descriptions and minimum sale prices.
  • Budget for a title search before bidding. The county conveys what it holds by tax deed and warrants nothing about title, boundaries, condition or code compliance.
  • The Auditor and Treasurer share the courthouse counter at 524 Central Avenue and keep the same hours, Monday through Thursday 8am to 4pm and Friday 8am to 1pm. The Treasurer handles current property tax collection; the Auditor handles the tax deed sale.

North Dakota rules

Redemption
There are two distinct windows and neither is a redemption against a private buyer. Up to October 1, paying the amount in the foreclosure notice stops the process. After the tax deed vests in the county, the former owner, the former owner's executor or administrator, or a parent, spouse or child of the former owner may repurchase the property so long as the county still holds tax title, for cash or on a contract for deed. A city holding a delinquent special assessment has a prior right to buy at the appraised value, exercisable within 30 days of the auditor's notice. Once the county sells at the annual auction, the purchaser's deed is not subject to any of this.
Deed deposit
None. Chapter 57-28 sets no bidder deposit and no registration fee. Each parcel is sold at auction to the highest qualified bidder for no less than the minimum sale price, and the terms are settled at the sale: the full amount in cash paid promptly to the county treasurer, or one quarter of the purchase price in cash with the balance in equal annual installments over not more than ten years under a contract for deed. A bidder who owes delinquent property taxes in any North Dakota county is disqualified from purchasing.
Governing statute
N.D.C.C. ch. 57-28

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.
