Nebraska Tax Sale Questions
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.
