Arizona Tax Sale Questions

When is the Arizona tax lien sale?

Annually in February, as statutorily mandated. Bidding windows open in mid-January on the online platform and close on the February sale date.

What interest rate does an Arizona tax lien earn?

The statutory maximum is 16% per annum, bid down at auction. The winning bid-down rate is what accrues — in competitive counties like Maricopa, that is often just 1-5%.

How long before I can foreclose on an Arizona tax lien?

3 years from the sale date. After that, and before the certificate expires at 10 years, the holder may file a judicial foreclosure in Superior Court to obtain a treasurer's deed.

Do I get the property when I buy an Arizona tax lien?

No. You get a Certificate of Purchase — a lien earning interest. Title comes only later, through a Superior Court foreclosure action, and most certificates redeem before that.
