  Tax Foreclosure Properties
  
  Properties with delinquent property tax are subject to tax foreclosure. When a tax foreclosure action is adjudicated, the ownership of the residential or commercial property is moved from the overdue taxpayer to a new owner. The new owner is accountable for all future taxes.

  Foreclosure Process
  
  The foreclosure process uses the mortgage design foreclosure pursuant to NCGS § 105-374 or the in rapid eye movement design foreclosure pursuant to NCGS § 105-375. Both designs of foreclosure are carried out by attorneys. It is within the discretion of the tax office regarding which style of foreclosure will be used. To bid on these residential or commercial properties, get in touch with the lawyer that is designated the specific residential or commercial properties for which you are interested.
  
  Upset Bids
  
  Successful bids at auction are open for a 10-day duration to permit the submission of upset quotes. Upset bids are computed and received by the Special Proceedings Division of the Clerk of Court for each residential or commercial property. In order to submit an upset quote, the upset bidder should raise the quote by 5% of the last quote or $750.00 (whichever is higher) and must supply a deposit in the kind of cash/certified funds to the Clerk of Court of 5% of the new quote or $750.00 (whichever is greater). Whenever an upset quote is filed, a new 10-day duration starts. After all upset bid periods are finished, the greatest successful bidder is notified and will need to deliver the balance of the purchase price to complete the sale.
  
  Bankruptcy
  
  Bankruptcy procedures submitted by the residential or commercial property owner under federal law can also stop tax foreclosure actions. All the taxes, interest, charges, and costs to the date of the personal bankruptcy filing should be paid as a top priority or protected claim in the bankruptcy proceeding.
  
  Tax Foreclosure Bidder Advisory
  
  All tax foreclosure sales will be free from collusion, bid rigging, or any other activity designed to suppress the final price of the auction. Free and open competition should exist in bidding at all times. Private individuals and/or organizations taking part in the bidding process must do so separately.
  
  When competitors conspire, or engage in quote rigging, they undergo prosecution by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, and/or regional prosecution. The relevant North Carolina statute is G.S. 75-1, the Unfair Trade Practice Act (UTPA). This can be imposed by people, by the NC Attorney General or by the local District Attorney. Civil and criminal charges may be assessed for infractions
