How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Nebraska
Nebraska is a tax-certificate state. Each county treasurer holds an annual tax-sale certificate auction on the first Monday of March, where investors purchase certificates on properties with delinquent prior-year taxes. The certificate earns 14% simple interest until redeemed by the owner. After 3 years, if the certificate is still unredeemed, the holder can apply for a tax deed — but must first serve statutory notice and wait an additional 90 days for the owner to redeem.
Bidding & Auctions
Nebraska uses one of two bidding methods depending on the county: a "round-robin" rotation where registered bidders take turns selecting parcels at face value, or a sealed-bid system on selected parcels. Either way, the price stays at the face amount of taxes owed plus costs — there is no bidding the price up. Registration is required ahead of the sale and most counties require a deposit. The 14% interest rate is set by statute and does not get bid down.
Redemption & Penalties
The owner can redeem at any time during the 3-year holding period by paying the certificate face value plus 14% simple interest accrued. If the certificate holder pays subsequent years' taxes during the hold, those payments earn interest too. After 3 years, the holder serves a 3-month notice on the owner and lienholders. If no one redeems within those final 90 days, the holder applies to the county treasurer for a tax deed.
See Nebraska Revised Statutes, Chapter 77, Article 18. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

When is the Nebraska tax sale?▾
Nebraska county tax-sale certificate auctions are held on the first Monday of March each year. Each of Nebraska's 93 counties runs its own sale on that date.
How much interest does a Nebraska tax certificate earn?▾
Nebraska tax certificates earn 14% simple interest by statute. The rate is fixed — it does not get bid down like in Florida. Subsequent tax payments by the certificate holder also earn 14%.
How long until I can apply for a Nebraska tax deed?▾
Three years from the date you bought the certificate. After the 3-year holding period, you must serve a 3-month statutory notice on the owner and any lienholders. If they don't redeem within that 90-day notice period, you can apply for a tax deed.
How does Nebraska's round-robin bidding work?▾
Registered investors are randomly ordered, then take turns selecting one parcel at a time at the face amount of taxes owed. No price competition — the only competition is who picks first. Some counties combine round-robin with sealed bids on the most desirable parcels.
