–
Bid4Assets.com will host Los Angeles County’s tax-defaulted properties sale, auctioning 1,011 tax-defaulted properties online this August 2018. The online auction will include a mix of vacant lots, including land zoned residential, commercial and acreage. All properties will open at a low starting bid of $1,426, except for three items with multiple parcels sold in blocks. No reserve price will be set, so the properties will sell to the highest bidder, regardless of price.
Following an annual in-person tax-defaulted property auction in October 2017 and follow-up online auction in December 2017, Los Angeles County is once again hosting an online sale through auction website Bid4Assets.com. The August 2018 online sale will expose properties to a wider range of buyers in order to return more distressed properties to the tax rolls. Funds generated support essential county services, which can face shortfalls when taxes go unpaid.
“We’re honored to serve Los Angeles County in conducting their public auction for tax-defaulted properties,” says Jesse Loomis, CEO of Bid4Assets. “The hope is always that the auction will prompt property owners to pay their taxes and redeem the properties. When that doesn’t happen, we auction the property and find a new buyer. If there aren’t enough bidders in the local market, we bring a database of hundreds of thousands of nationwide real estate bidders to the auction.”
Auctions will open Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) and begin closing at staggered times between 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) and 5:50 p.m. ET (2:50 p.m. PT) on Aug. 7. A free Bid4Assets account is required to participate in the sale. Bidders must submit a $5,035 deposit to qualify for bidding. Deposits are due by July 31. You can view a list of properties available in the sale at www.bid4assets.com/losangeles.
