King County CA – Tax Deed Auction
March 27, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
King County Tax Information
Kings County, California, will host its 2026 Tax Deed Auction online through GovEase. The auction begins on March 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT. Bidders must complete registration and submit the required deposit before the deadline to receive approval.
Registration runs from February 10, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST through March 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM PDT. Pre-bidding opens March 11, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT.
Kings County sells tax-defaulted properties to recover unpaid property taxes. When you win in California, you purchase the property, not a lien certificate.
Key Auction Details:
Date: March 12, 2026
Location: Online Auction via Govease
Time: 8:00 AM PDT
Terms of Sale:
Kings County requires a $5,000 deposit and a $35 non-refundable registration fee before approval. You must send both by domestic wire. GovEase must receive all deposits and registration fees no later than 4:00 PM Central / 2:00 PM Pacific on March 10, 2026.
The platform adds a 3% buyer’s premium and California Transfer Tax to the final bid. GovEase displays these amounts on the live bidding screen.
Each parcel appears one at a time with a 2-minute bid clock. If a bidder places a qualifying bid within the last 15 seconds, the system resets the clock to 10 seconds.
You must submit final payment by domestic wire within 1 day after the auction concludes. GovEase processes refunds 7 to 10 business days after the sale finishes.
