How Tax Sales Operate in Nebraska
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 77-1801 et seq., delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Lien and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via In-Person Treasurer Sale (First Monday of March) or in person by the County Treasurer. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (Private Tax Sale Certificate (OTC))
In Nebraska, unsold properties or tax lien certificates become available as Private Tax Sale Certificate (OTC). Buyers can purchase these parcels directly over-the-counter without attending an open outcry auction.
