Use the county treasurer or tax collector and its designated auction host for sale instructions, registration and deadlines. A guide such as Tax Sale Atlas helps you locate those sources. Accrella brings research candidates into a working list for the next decision.

Read Accrella vs Tax Sale ResourcesAccrella supports owned-certificate import previews and imports. Map your file to the supported fields, preview a small batch and reconcile certificate identifiers, amounts and warnings before importing more. Keep your originals until the records match; an import does not automatically establish ownership or link every prior bid record.
Official county websites and a spreadsheet can support a manual research process, although data access and spreadsheet software may have their own costs. Accrella offers paid workspace plans for connecting research, bid review and certificate records. Compare the current plan details against the workflow you need.
Compare Accrella plansNo. Keep the official county and auction host in your process for sale instructions, registration, deadlines and submission. Accrella organizes research, decisions and retained records around that work. An exported research file does not establish acceptance by an auction platform.
