Property that has tax bill(s) remaining unpaid for a period of greater than five years becomes subject to a tax sale. The property(s) will be offered for sale at a public auction for a minimum bid. The minimum bid is the amount of taxes owed plus all penalties and costs that have been applied to the property(s).
\n\n \nAn online tax deed sale is an auction where bids are transmitted and received electronically through the Internet using a computer and a web browser.
\n\n \nThe auction site will not support older browsers.
\n\nThere is free computer access at public libraries located throughout the County.
\n\n \nRepresentatives of Grant Street Group are available via email (DeedAuction@GrantStreet.com) or via phone at (877) 274-9320 between 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. PT on business days to provide instruction and answer questions regarding use of the website.
\n\n \nPlease contact the County at (707) 784-7485 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. PT (Monday through Friday, excluding Official County Holidays).
\n\n \nSome liens may be dischargeable and others may not. Tax and property laws are complicated and bidders should thoroughly research outstanding or potential liens, mortgages, encumbrances or title defects prior to placing a bid on a property in a tax deed sale. It is best to seek legal advice of an attorney who can provide you with information about liens on a given property. Be advised that you are solely responsible for researching tax deed properties and you assume sole responsibility for making any bid at the online tax deed sale. The County does not make any representations or warranties as to the status of the title or liens on property auctioned at a tax deed sale.
\n\nFor more information please refer to the County Tax Sale Terms and Conditions.
\n\n \nAll bidders with a valid deposit may begin placing bids on the opening day of the sale. Please note when bidding that all properties have their own unique close time (please note the close time listed on the Bid Page for the properties you are interested in bidding) after which bids will no longer be accepted, with the exception of the "One Minute Rule." See FAQ below on the "One Minute Rule."
\n\n \nProxy bidding is a form of competitive sale in which bidders input the maximum bid they are willing to pay for a property they would like to purchase. The system will then automatically enter bids on their behalf, as necessary, up to their maximum bid.
\n\nIf you enter a maximum bid that is the same as another lead bid, the first bidder to submit that amount would be deemed the leader. The trailing bidder would be notified with a message on the screen that "your bid was submitted successfully, but you trail an earlier bidder at the same price". The non leader would have to increase their maximum bid to become the leader.
\n\nAll bids submitted on this site are submitted as proxy bids. The bid you enter after you click the Enter Max Bid link will be executed using the proxy bid system.
\n\n \nIf a bidder becomes a leading bidder (as displayed by "leader" in the bid status column) in the last one (1) minute of the sale, the Auction Clock will change to reflect a new Auction Close Time and the sale will be extended one (1) minute to allow additional bidding. This will continue until that bidder remains leader for one (1) minute (at which time the auction closes and the leading bid becomes the Winning Bid). Be aware that submitting a bid higher than the "best bid" may not trigger overtime due to the automatic proxy bid. The bid you submit must make you the "leader" in order to trigger overtime. When you submit your bid you will get a message on your screen that indicates your bid has been accepted and your status is now leading or you are now trailing.
\n\n \nAn advance deposit of $5000 and a non-refundable $40 bid deposit processing fee must be made online through the electronic auction website via eCheck (ACH / Electronic Debit). Your deposit must be submitted at least five (5) full business days before the auction opens for bidding.
\n\nTo submit your deposit online via e-Check (ACH/Electronic Debit):
\n\nYou will receive an email confirmation of your payment submission including when it is expected to become available for bidding.
\n\nDeposit refunds are not processed before the auction occurs. All deposit refunds will be processed within ten (10) business days of the auction closing, and will be made to the same account used to submit the deposit. The $40 processing fee is non-refundable.
\n\n \nAn ACH debit is an electronic funds transfer from your bank account, initiated by the tax sale vendor with your prior authorization. For more information on ACH, please visit the NACHA, the Electronic Payments Association, at www.nacha.org.
\n\nFunds must be drawn from a US financial institution. Some types of money market, brokerage, and/or trust accounts cannot accept ACH debits. Please check with your financial institution prior to initiating payment on the website.
\n\n \nWinning bidders are required to make final payment in full within five (5) business days from the close of each auction.
\n\n \nPlease note: Payment by personal check, traveler's check, or credit card shall not be accepted.
\n\n \nThe properties offered at each auction of this tax sale shall be sold to the highest bidder. The highest bidder for each property auction of this tax sale shall pay in full within five (5) business days from the close of each auction. In the event the highest bidder on an auction fails to comply with these Settlement Requirements, then that bidder's deposit shall be forfeited to the County. Winning bidders who do not perform on all auctions won will forfeit their deposit to the County and may be banned from future sales.
\n\n \nRefund of the bid deposit shall be made to unsuccessful bidders within ten (10) business days after the close of all property auctions for this tax sale.
\n\n \nYou can view the list of items for sale by visiting Available Parcels | Solano County, California or by clicking on the sales listed in the auction calendar.
\n\n \nThere is a $40 non-refundable bid deposit processing fee required when submitting your deposit. If you are the winning bidder, a California documentary transfer tax will be added to, and collected with, the final sales price. This tax is calculated at the rate of $.55 for each $500.00 or fractional part thereof, if the purchase price exceeds $100.00. For Solano County there is an additional tax if the property is in the City of Vallejo, which is $1.65 per $500.00 of the final sales price.
\n\n \nThis means that a property has been withdrawn from the sale and is not available for bidding. Properties may be withdrawn from the sale from time to time and the auction site will be updated daily to reflect any such changes.
