North Carolina Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerNorth Carolina tax sale timing: No fixed annual sale date; individual foreclosure sales are scheduled case-by-case as actions conclude, year-round What is sold: Tax deeds. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified North Carolina sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from North Carolina law.

Rate / penalty: n/a — pure tax deed / foreclosure state; no lien certificate is sold to investors, so no buyer interest rate applies

Redemption: No post-sale redemption. Owner may pay off taxes, interest and costs until confirmation (mortgage-style foreclosure, G.S. 105-374) or until the upset-bid period closes (in rem foreclosure, G.S. 105-375); every sale is subject to a 10-day upset-bid period
