Pennsylvania tax sale calendar

Quick answerPennsylvania tax sale timing: Upset sale annually in the statutory September window (no earlier than the second Monday in September, 72 P.S. § 5860.601; e.g. Erie County Sept. 28, 2026), followed by judicial sales and repository sales later in the year 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 Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania law.

Rate / penalty: n/a — under the Real Estate Tax Sale Law no lien certificate is sold and no post-sale redemption interest is paid to the buyer; in proceedings under the Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Law, a redeeming owner pays interest at 10% per year on each amount paid (53 P.S. § 7293) — under both the general 9-month redemption and the 3-month second-class city/county redemption

Redemption: No post-sale redemption after an upset or judicial sale under the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. § 5860.607(g)) in the 65 counties that use it. Exception: in proceedings under the Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Law (53 P.S. § 7293), the owner may redeem within 9 months of acknowledgment of the sheriff's deed — 3 months if the property is located in a city of the second class or a county of the second class or a municipality therein (i.e. Pittsburgh / Allegheny County) — on payment of the bid amount, costs, taxes/claims actually paid, and interest at 10% per annum on each payment (the 10% applies in both cases). Philadelphia (first class) falls under the 9-month rule
