Upset Sales

The upset sale is the first sale at which a delinquent taxpayer’s property may be sold. The sale is held annually, on the first Wednesday after the second Monday of September. In August a list of delinquent properties is advertised in The Daily Item   and The Snyder County Times   papers. The list is between 80 and 100 parcels.

Judicial Sales

Judicial sales are held after the upset sale for any properties not sold. Judicial sales are ordered by the Court of Common Pleas of Snyder County and are referred to as the “Free & Clear” sale since filed tax and municipal liens are discharged as well as mortgages and other liens of record. Judicial Sales are generally held in the spring of the year following the upset sale for the same property. Per Sec. 612.(b) of the Pa. RETSL the Judicial Sale List is not published since the Petition is normally filed within three months of the upset sale.  

Repository Sales

Repository sale properties are those not purchased at the judicial sale. These sales are held at the discretion of the Tax Claim Bureau. Bids may be made by contacting the department.
