Here’s the skinny on the upcoming delinquent tax sale for Beaufort  County.  The opening bid  includes, delinquent taxes for 2010, all penalties and fees, plus the current year taxes for 2011. This is the minimum opening bid.  They accept Visa!  Owners will have up to 12 months to redeem their real property paying you interest for the time that you carried the property (interest shall not exceed the opening bid).  If real property is not redeemed, a delinquent tax sale deed is issued to the successful bidder.  All stamp fees and preparation costs must be paid prior to the deed recording and the property is deeded lien free.   If you would like to do a little digging or due diligence on any of the properties, give me a call at (843)842-0805 or send me an email at robbie@robbiebunting.com.
