Frequently asked questions
When is the next San Bernardino County tax sale?
The county announces each sale on its official auction platform, sbcounty.mytaxsale.com, with that event's bidding dates, registration and deposit instructions. Use the current event's terms; an earlier sale's dates and deadlines do not carry over.
What types of properties sell at San Bernardino tax sales?
Most parcels in the county's past auctions have been vacant land, much of it in the high desert. Listings also include residential lots, mountain properties near Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, and occasional improved residential or commercial properties.
Are San Bernardino tax sale properties redeemable after purchase?
No. California tax deed sales transfer ownership, and the right to redeem ends before the sale. Buyers receive a tax deed, not a lien.
How do I research San Bernardino tax sale properties?
The county's bidder FAQ directs bidders to investigate liens and title defects themselves and to seek property-specific legal advice. Start with the official listing and the Assessor's parcel records, then use sanbernardinotax.com to review dated listings and past results with their sources.
