How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania sells the deed at its county tax sales, not liens — but the rules split sharply by location. The 65 counties governed by the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (RETSL) hold an annual upset sale that conveys a deed subject to existing liens, followed later by judicial "free and clear" sales that discharge those liens on unsold parcels. Under RETSL there is no right of redemption once the sale is confirmed. Philadelphia and Allegheny counties operate under a different statute, the Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Act (MCTLA), which uses sheriff's tax sales and grants a nine-month post-sale redemption for owner-occupied property. This RETSL-versus-MCTLA divide is the single most important distinction in Pennsylvania, and it determines whether a buyer receives clear title immediately or must wait out a redemption window.
Bidding & Auctions
All Pennsylvania tax sales are premium, highest-bid auctions. The RETSL upset sale opens at the "upset price" — taxes, municipal claims, and costs — and passes a deed that is still subject to mortgages and other liens of record. The judicial "free and clear" sale is a lien-free auction with lower minimums, which is why many investors prefer it. Philadelphia and Allegheny sheriff's sales are also competitive premium-bid auctions. Bid4Assets hosts the Philadelphia and Allegheny sheriff's sales and some RETSL counties; other counties use GovDeals or their own portals, while many rural RETSL counties still sell in person at the courthouse.
Redemption & Penalties
The redemption answer depends entirely on where the property sits. In the 65 RETSL counties, Section 607(g) prohibits any post-sale redemption once the sale is confirmed and the deed delivered — assume no redemption. In Philadelphia and Allegheny only, owner-occupied property carries a nine-month redemption running from acknowledgment or recording of the sheriff's deed, generally limited to homes occupied as a residence for at least 90 days before the sale. If the owner redeems there, the buyer is repaid the bid plus 10% interest on the bid and costs. Non-owner-occupied property in those two counties generally does not qualify.
See Pennsylvania's Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. §§ 5860.101–5860.803) and the Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Act (53 P.S. §§ 7101–7505). Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

Does Pennsylvania have a redemption period?▾
It depends on the county. The 65 RETSL counties have no post-sale redemption once the sale is confirmed. Philadelphia and Allegheny, which operate under the MCTLA statute, grant a nine-month redemption for owner-occupied property.
What's the difference between an upset sale and a judicial sale?▾
A RETSL upset-sale deed passes subject to existing mortgages and liens of record. A judicial "free and clear" sale, held later for unsold parcels, discharges those liens — which is why many investors target the judicial sale.
When are Pennsylvania tax sales held?▾
RETSL upset sales are held annually on the first Wednesday after the second Monday of September, with judicial sales following for unsold parcels. Philadelphia and Allegheny hold sheriff's tax sales on rolling schedules year-round.
What interest applies if a Philadelphia or Allegheny owner redeems?▾
Under the MCTLA, a redeeming owner-occupant repays the buyer the bid amount plus 10% interest on the bid, plus costs, within the nine-month window.
