The property sales are held approximately once a year in the Spring. The sale is advertised in the Albany Democrat Herald newspaper for four consecutive weeks prior to the sale. We have a mailing list and we send out notice to those on the list as to the time and date of the auction, and a listing of all the properties. A list of the properties will also be available on this web site.
Registration is done right before the auction.
This is a regular oral auction starting with a minimum bid set by the Board of Commissioners. Full payment must be made. Linn County does not carry contracts. Properties that are not sold at the sale are available by sealed bid. No redemption period remains for the former owner of record.
