Purchasing County-Held Certificates

LienHub allows you to view and purchase county-held tax certificates (most but not all tax collectors offer this option).

If the tax collector makes a certificate available for sale that has not previously been listed it will be posted on LienHub at 9 am local time the following morning. Users must sign in to LienHub in order to see the most updated list of available certificates.

To review available certificates and make a purchase:

  1. Sign in to LienHub.com.

    1. Note: You do not have to register/sign in to just view available certificates; however, you may not see the most updated list of certificates if you are not signed in.
  2. Select a county using the Select a County menu on the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the page.

  3. Click Purchase County-Held Tax Liens.

  4. You will arrive at the View/Purchase Certificates page. On this page you can filter the list of available certificates using the options on the “Filters” panel. You can sort the list of certificates using any of the column headers in the certificates table. To see certificate details, click on the Certificate Number.
