When property is foreclosed upon because of back taxes it is then sold at the Assessor Treasurer's Foreclosure Sale. If the property is not sold at the foreclosure sale, it is then deeded over to Pierce County under the status of Tax Title.
All sales are final.
The County will accept payments by cashier's check, certified check, or money order. Checks returned as non-negotiable will render the sale null and void. Unless otherwise stated, the purchase price does not include any assessments against a property since the original foreclosure. The purchaser assumes the responsibility for payment of any such assessments, whether known or unknown. Pierce County will list the assessments, if known.
