Your questions, answered
Everything you need to know before your first auction
What's the difference between a tax lien and a tax deed?+
A tax lien certificate gives you the right to collect the unpaid tax plus statutory interest — you don't own the property unless the owner fails to redeem within the state's window. A tax deed sale sells the property itself (or a redeemable version of it, depending on the state).
Is tax lien investing safe?+
Like any investment, it carries real risk — the property could be worthless, over-encumbered, or the owner could redeem before you earn meaningful interest. Read the county's own auction rules and do due diligence on the parcel before bidding. Nothing on this site is financial advice.
How much money do I need to start?+
It varies enormously by county — some certificates sell for under $500, others for tens of thousands. Rural counties with less competition tend to have lower minimum bids than dense metro counties.
Which states offer the highest statutory rates?+
Iowa's flat 24% (no bid-down) is among the highest of the common tax lien states. Florida and New Jersey cap at 18% but use bid-down or premium-bidding auctions, so the rate you actually win is often lower than the statutory maximum.
Do I need real estate experience to get started?+
No, but you should understand what you're bidding on before you bid — parcel condition, existing liens, and the specific redemption rules of that county. That's exactly the research TaxLien.io is built to speed up.
