| Legal description | The value a local assessor assigns for tax purposes, or the amount a court determined (adjudged value). It is a reference point, not market value, and can differ a lot from a real sale price. See the full glossary for more terms. | What the property would likely sell for today in an open market. It is the number to compare against the minimum bid, because the assessor value alone can be far off. See the full glossary for more terms. | The FEMA flood-risk area a property sits in. High-risk zones (AE, A, VE) usually require flood insurance if you build or hold the property, and can make a cheap parcel expensive to keep. See the full glossary for more terms. | The lowest amount the county will accept, typically the taxes owed plus costs. It is not the true cost — add fees, title work, and possession costs. See the full glossary for more terms. | A transparent rule-of-thumb from 0 to 100 comparing value to the minimum bid, the interest rate, and the redemption length. Educational only — not investment advice. See the full glossary for more terms. | Status | |

at the sale: the successful bidder at the sheriff's auction is required to make the cash deposit; the county page sets no other deposit deadline
The clerk of superior court may require an upset bidder, or the highest bidder at a resale, to deposit a cash bond or, at the bidder's option, a surety bond approved by the clerk, in an amount the clerk deems adequate but no more than the bid less any required deposit (1-339.25(b))
No deposit may be required of a taxing unit that has made the highest bid at the foreclosure sale (105-374(m1))

Wake County collects delinquent property taxes by docketing a foreclosure judgment and selling the parcel at public auction: the Department of Tax Administration dockets the judgment 30 days after notice to the owner, then the Sheriff's Office runs the auction roughly 4 months later, with in-rem parcels sold under G.S. 105-375. The county page documents no bidder registration step, no bidder number and no balance-due deadline, so those fields stay unknown; the only money terms it states are the cash deposit of 10 percent of the bid, forfeited if the successful bidder will not take the deed, and the 10-day upset bid window (5 percent of the current bid or $750, whichever is greater, filed with the Clerk of Superior Court). Because North Carolina sells no tax lien certificates, paying the lien before the auction never transfers ownership. The county publishes no winning-bid or upset-bid results, so post-sale status must come from the Clerk of Superior Court. Statewide statutes are N.C. Gen. Stat. 105-374 and 105-375 plus Chapter 1, Article 29A (see data/bidder_process/state/NC.json).
