We hope this information is beneficial to those who would like to bid on properties but are unfamiliar with the conditions and manner of sale. Foreclosure sales are for real property only. The Sheriff's Office does not know if any structures are on the property. Further, we cannot give permission for prospective bidders to enter and inspect any structure that may be located on the property to be sold. All properties sold at auction at the Sheriff's Office are advertised Wednesday and Sunday in the New Jersey Herald and the New Jersey Sunday Herald .
Advertisements appear once a week for four consecutive weeks prior to the initial date of sale.
The Sheriff's Office does not have a list, for general distribution, of the properties to be sold. Persons interested in properties can make their own lists from newspaper legal advertisements. The property is sold to the highest bidder. The successful bidder, upon full payment of the bid, will receive a Sheriff's Deed. This deed does not give clear title to the property.
