St. Louis County, MO
Real Property Tax Sale by sealed bid, opens Aug 24
St. Louis County's annual Real Property Tax Sale runs by sealed bid this year — bids open Friday, August 21, with a final deadline of 5:00 p.m. CST on Wednesday, August 26.
Missouri is a tax lien state: winning a Certificate of Purchase at this sale doesn't transfer ownership. The county pays a flat 10% annual rate, and the prior owner has one year to redeem before the certificate holder can apply for a collector's deed.
Before you bid: Sealed-bid format, submission windows, and deposit requirements can change year to year — confirm current instructions with the St. Louis County Collector of Revenue before submitting a bid.
