Kane County

Sale typeWhat you actually buy. A lien sale gives you a claim on the property and the owner keeps it for now; a deed sale transfers the property itself. A redeemable deed transfers ownership but still gives the former owner time to pay you back. See the full glossary for more terms.

deed

Utah Code 59-2-1351.1(9)

Interest / penaltyWhat you earn when the owner redeems. Interest is a rate paid over time; a penalty is usually a one-time percentage of the tax or redemption amount. A rate that is bid down during the auction is still interest. See the full glossary for more terms.

penalty 2.5% of delinquent taxes ($10 min; 1% if paid by Jan 31); interest 7-10%/yr

Utah Code 59-2-1331(2)

RedemptionHow long the former owner has to repay the debt and keep the property after the sale. Your money stays tied up until this window closes, so a long period can mean a multi-year wait on a lien. See the full glossary for more terms.

none after sale; redeem only before the tax sale

Utah Code 59-2-1346(1)

Bid methodHow the winner is chosen: bidding the interest rate down, bidding a premium above the amount owed, a random or rotating draw, or simply buying at the minimum bid. See the full glossary for more terms.

Utah sells a tax deed, not a lien: the county auditor runs the auction in May or June at the courthouse door or electronically, and the winning bid must cover all delinquent taxes, charges, penalties, interest, and administrative costs, paid in cash. Bidder registration, deposits, and forms are not set by statute; 59-2-1351.1(2)(b) leaves those procedures to Tax Commission minimum standards and county ordinances, so they remain unknown here. Parcels with no purchaser are struck off to the county and later disposed of under 59-2-1351.5.
