Commissioners Sales

Commissioners sales - sometimes referred to as Cetrificate Sales - may be conducted to sell real estate that did not sell in an annual tax sale.  The Commissioners set the price of the property.  The sale is conducted much like a tax sale and is administered by SRI.   

The primary difference between a Certificate (Commissioners) Sale and a tax sale is the redemption period.  For commissioners sales, the redemption by the property owner must be within 90 days of the sale date.  If the property is not redeemed duing this period, the certificate holder my obtain clear title to the property from the Auditor's office.
