Tax Sale Overview:


If New Castle county, Delaware is unable to collect real estate property taxes they are also unable to provide important government services like police protection, public schooling and medical services.

Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for New Castle county, Delaware.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of New Castle county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a New Castle county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the New Castle county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.

To solve this problem New Castle county, Delaware allows investors to pay off these taxes. In exchange the investor receives the New Castle county, Delaware lien for taxes. A tax lien is simply a claim for delinquent taxes.

Why would investors do this?

Well, depending on Delaware laws and competition, savvy New Castle county tax sale investors can realize high-yielding returns with Delaware tax lien certificates and/or purchase real estate for a fraction of its true market value with Delaware tax deeds.
