Tax Sale Intel vs Tax Sale Resources
Disclosure: Tax Sale Intel is our product. Tax Sale Resources’s prices and features below come only from its own public pages, checked Oct 12, 2026. We did not buy a Tax Sale Resources plan for this comparison, so anything its pages do not state is marked “Not stated.”
The short answer
Tax Sale Resources: Long-established nationwide tax sale research with metered property reports, AVM and MLS comps, and over-the-counter lists. Tax Sale Intel is free, county-by-county research for four counties: Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Miami-Dade, and Wayne. If you work across many counties or states, Tax Sale Resources covers far more ground. If you bid in one of our four counties, start with our free county site, then register on the county’s official auction site either way.

Neither one is the auction
Research tools do not run sales. You still register, deposit, and bid on the county’s official platform, such as RealForeclose, GovEase, Bid4Assets, or the county’s own sale site, and the county’s terms govern. See our tax sale calendar and state guides for California, Florida, and Michigan.
