Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the report as a 2021 tax sale: it reports the 2021 sale for 2020 taxes, as the title states.
- Treating the 94.1% of available certificates sold as the same measure as the 99.3% of available face amount sold; the report gives them as separate lines.
- Counting county-struck certificates as sold certificates; the report lists them on separate lines, and the footnote says they include statutorily-struck certificates.
- Adding advertised items paid or withdrawn before the sale period to the sale results; the report marks those two lines with an asterisk and describes them as occurring before the sale period.
- Mixing up the average number of bids per certificate with the average number of bids including county-struck certificates; they are separate lines.
- Looking in this report for a specific property, buyer or owner; it prints only summary totals and averages.
