Tax Department Foreclosure Sales
Each of the following properties is scheduled
to be sold in satisfaction of property tax liens. All sales
are open to the public and are conducted on the front steps
of the Buncombe County Courthouse. The sales will be made
to the last and highest bidder and each property will be sold
"as is" and without warranty.
ESTIMATED OPENING BID.
The price indicated for each lot as an Estimated Opening Bid
is the approximate amount required for the opening bid. The
person conducting the sale will announce the actual opening
bid for each property at the time of sale. A deposit of up
twenty percent (20%) of the bid will be required following
the sale, and the balance of the price bid must be paid at
the end of the ten day period and confirmation of the sale.
Any CURRENT BID on the property,
as shown below, is subject to an increased bid, or upset bid,
for a period of ten (10) days. If the tenth day is a weekend
or holiday the bid remains open through the next business
day. However, the owner of the property being foreclosed retains
the right to redeem the property during this ten (10) day
period.
UPSET BID.
A person interested in making an increased bid should
go to the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court on the first
floor of the Buncombe County Courthouse. The increased bid
must exceed the current bid by five percent (5%) or $750.00
whichever is greater. To make an increased bid a deposit of
five percent (5%) of the amount of the new high bid, or a
minimum of $750.00, must be delivered to the Clerk of Superior
Court by cash or certified check or cashier's check satisfactory
to the Clerk.
