West Virginia Tax Sales
West Virginia holds two types of tax sales. The first is a county lien sale where you basically buy a lien on the property and if the taxes and fees are not paid within 18 months of the sale the property is deeded to you. If the prloperty is redeemed by the owner before 18 months you are paid 12% interest (1% per month) and all fees you have invested.
The second type of sale is a deed sale which is property that did not sale at the county sale and didn’t receive any bids. This property is then sold to the state and is auctioned off to the public at a later date. The bidding for property starts at $1.00 in most cases. If the property is not sold at this auction you may be able to bid on it at any time by contacting the State Auditor.
