The Biggest Tax Sales of the Next 30 Days
The headline sales
Tax-sale season does not slow down for winter. The next 30 days hold 81 sales with published lists in our tracking — 71 tax deed sales and 10 tax lien sales — spread across 19 states and 16 different sale dates. Ten of them carry more than 400 parcels each, and the top three together account for over 10,000 parcels.
The list is topped by Colorado's fall lien sales and South Carolina's fall deed sales, which is the normal shape of November: lien states like Colorado sell certificates against the year's delinquencies, while deed states like South Carolina auction the properties themselves.

- Lancaster County, SC — tax deed sale, Nov 9 — 496 parcels
November 9 is the busiest day on the calendar
If you only circle one date, circle November 9: 12 sales and 7,328 parcels in a single day. South Carolina's counties do most of that damage — Charleston, Bamberg, Lancaster, Cherokee, Calhoun and Oconee counties all sell that day, alongside Pueblo and Teller counties in Colorado. South Carolina runs its delinquent-tax sales on a shared fall rhythm, so the state's lists land in the same weeks every year.
November 17 runs second in a different way: it holds the most separate sales of any day in the window — 14 of them — but they are smaller lists, 2,065 parcels in total, led by Williamsburg County, SC (1,020) and Armstrong County, PA (521). And December opens with Horry County, SC on December 1: 2,342 parcels, the third-biggest list of the month.
How to work a list this size
Nobody researches 4,806 parcels one at a time. The investors who handle big lists work in filters: score every parcel on the published fields first (taxes owed against assessed value, property type, location), then spend human hours only on the shortlist that survives. The second filter is a ceiling set before the sale — a conservative cap, like 65% of the county-published assessed value, that turns auction-day temptation into a number you already decided.
The third discipline is tracking the list itself, not just the sale date. Published lists shrink: owners pay up, enter plans, or redeem, and parcels withdraw right up to sale day. A list you downloaded three weeks out is not the list that sells. Tracked lists are re-checked within the hour inside 14 days of a sale, daily otherwise — because the parcel you researched hardest is exactly the one whose owner settles on Tuesday.
What these counts are — and aren't
Every count above comes from a county-published sale list that we ingest and re-verify, read as of November 3, 2026: 57,633 parcels tracked across 235 counties in 24 states. A parcel count is the number of properties on the published list — not a prediction of how many reach the auction block, and not a claim about what any parcel is worth. Assessed values, where a county publishes them, anchor our ceiling estimates on 3,274 of the tracked parcels; where a county publishes no assessed value, we show no estimate rather than invent one.
Sale mechanics — registration, deposits, bidding format — are set by each county and close before sale day, in most counties the day before. Confirm the details on the county's own notice before you rely on them.
Questions
What is the biggest tax sale in the next 30 days?
Weld County, Colorado's tax lien sale on November 5, 2026, with 4,806 parcels on its published list — followed by Pueblo County, CO (3,211 on Nov 9) and Horry County, SC (2,342 on Dec 1).
How many tax sales are coming up in the next 30 days?
81 tracked sales with published lists between November 4 and December 3, 2026 — 71 tax deed sales and 10 tax lien sales across 19 states, covering 19,378 parcels as of November 3.
Will all of these parcels actually be sold?
No. Owners redeem, pay, or enter payment plans, and parcels are withdrawn from published lists right up to sale day. List counts describe what is published now; the list that sells is always smaller, which is why lists need re-checking as the sale approaches.
