Things To Remember:

  • The Treasurer's Deed will not be issued until ALL subsequent property tax liens are paid in full.
  • A Treasurer's Deed is an unmarketable title for seven years. You may deed the property to another individual; however, you may not warrant the title. Please contact an attorney or title company for further information. The Treasurer's Office is unable to advise you in this matter.
  • If the certificate is redeemed prior to deed issuance, you will receive your investment, interest, and your application fee in full. However, no interest is earned on the application fee.
