All prospective investors must register at RealAuction.com. Pima County adheres to the Single Simultaneous
Bidding Entity Rule which requires that each bidding entity shall register only once for the purpose of bidding on
or purchasing tax certificates and shall not have a contractual, legal, or financial relationship with any other
bidding entity registered in the Pima County Tax Lien Sale. This rule governs tax certificate sales that are
conducted utilizing a competitive bid auction process and does not apply to county held, direct purchase
transactions or the transfer of certificates after the tax lien sale has concluded.

The 2024 Tax Lien Sale will be held on line and hosted by RealAuction.com. Liens will be offered for sale by the
corresponding sequence number for each parcel in the order they appear in the newspaper. Liens will be
segregated into batches to facilitate the bidding process. The bidding will start at 16% and must be in 1%
increments. A 0% bid is acceptable. The successful bidder must pay the entire amount due by date indicated
under the Bidding Rules on our auction website at RealAuction.com. You are advised that, pursuant to the laws
of the State of Arizona, specifically ARS 42-18116, in the event a person to whom a tax lien has been sold fails to
pay the amount due and the sale has closed, the Treasurer may recover the amount bid by civil action in a court
of competent jurisdiction. The sale continues until all liens are sold and/or the batches are closed. The auxiliary
session will start an hour after the final batch closes and will close at 5pm the following day. The auxiliary
session will include all tax parcels that were not sold during the regular sale. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
