Twin Falls County tax deed sales, Idaho
Verified
Twin Falls runs on an early October rhythm that its own records show twice: terms for a 9:00 a.m. auction on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, and minutes recording that the commissioners conducted a property tax deed auction on the courthouse steps on October 1, 2026. In September 2026 the board set minimum bids in public, as low as $891.00 on one parcel and $2,470.00 on another, so the pre sale meetings are where the real list and prices first appear.

Research Twin Falls County parcels before you bid
A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across Twin Falls County, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How Idaho tax deed sales work
- Taxes go delinquent and the lien belongs to the county. A delinquency carries interest at 1 percent per month from the January 1 after the lien attached, and the county holds a perpetual lien that entitles it to a tax deed (Idaho Code 63-1001 and 63-1003).
- Three years pass with no investor product to buy. There is no lien sale and no certificate in Idaho; during the wait the only event is the county building its own deed.
- Notice of pending issue goes out. Between five months and two months before the deed date, the tax collector serves notice on the record owner and parties in interest by certified mail with return receipt requested; if the mail comes back undelivered, a summary is published once a week for four consecutive weeks, and an affidavit of compliance is recorded at least five working days before the deed (Idaho Code 63-1005).
- The commissioners hold a hearing. If the tax collector followed the notice statute and the delinquency is still owing and unpaid, the board directs the tax collector to issue and record the tax deed to the county (Idaho Code 63-1006).
- Redemption stays open after the deed. The former owner or a party in interest may redeem until the commissioners contract to sell the property or transfer it by deed, and never later than 14 months from tax deed issuance, by paying the delinquency with interest and costs, including title search and professional fees, plus taxes accrued after the deed (Idaho Code 63-1007).
- The commissioners auction the property. The auction must be held no later than 14 months from issuance of the tax deed, on newspaper notice at least ten calendar days ahead naming the taxpayer and the legal description, and the minimum bid is set to include all taxes owing, interest, and costs (Idaho Code 31-808).
- Excess proceeds are claimed, not kept. Money above everything owing is apportioned first to parties in interest who claim within 60 days of the board notice, in lien priority, and the remainder goes to the owner of record at the time the tax deed issued (Idaho Code 31-808).
How buying works in Twin Falls County
The published terms do not set out a pre registration procedure. They require all bidders to read and understand the terms, treat a bid as an irrevocable offer, and allow sealed written bids to the commissioners office before the deadline stated in the terms.
- Where bidding happens At the public auction the commissioners set for each group of tax deeded parcels. Idaho counties run these sales differently: Kootenai and Bonner sell online, Ada and Canyon in scheduled county sales, Twin Falls on the courthouse steps, and each county page on this site names that county venue and route.
- Deposit and payment Terms are set county by county and sale by sale; several Idaho counties require the full bid in certified funds on the day of the sale. The statement at the top of each county page carries the deposit and payment terms that county publishes, or says plainly that the county does not publish them.
- Transfer fees and the deed The purchaser also pays all transfer fees, and no deed is delivered until the deed has been recorded (Idaho Code 31-808). Most counties convey by quitclaim or county deed, so the interest bought is the interest the county holds, and nothing more.
Terms: what a bid actually costs
| Deposit, Twin Falls County | The published terms of sale do not name a bidder deposit. Its published terms do not name a deposit, only direct payment of the full bid to the treasurer. |
| Payment, Twin Falls County | All bids and final payment are handled through direct payment to the Twin Falls County Treasurer, 630 Addison Ave W, Ste 2200, Twin Falls, or P.O. Box 88, Twin Falls, ID 83303, in the form of cash or a cashier check. The successful bidder completes a deed information form at the time of payment showing how title is to be held. |
| Redemption period | Two windows. Three years from the date of delinquency to stop the tax deed, and then a second window after the deed: redemption runs until the commissioners enter a contract of sale or transfer the property, and expires in all events 14 months from tax deed issuance (Idaho Code 63-1005 and 63-1007). |
| Interest on the delinquency | One percent per month, calculated from January 1 following the year the tax lien attached, and not charged on collection costs (Idaho Code 63-1001). |
| Minimum bid | Set to include all property taxes owing plus interest and costs. The board may reserve the right to reject any and all bids, and it has express discretionary authority to accept a bid below the full amount owing, so the minimum is a starting point the county itself may move (Idaho Code 31-808). |
| Excess proceeds | After all delinquent taxes, late charges, interest, and costs, proceeds go first to parties in interest on claims filed within 60 days of the board notice, paid in lien priority, and then to the owner of record at the time the tax deed issued. Funds may move to the state treasurer as unclaimed property with the treasurer consent (Idaho Code 31-808). |
| Installment contracts | The board may carry a sale on a recorded installment contract running as long as ten years, with interest, assigning the county interest to the purchaser (Idaho Code 31-808). |
| Leftover parcels | Property the county cannot sell at the auction may afterward be sold without further notice, by public or private sale, on the terms the county sets (Idaho Code 31-808). |
| Deed issued | A quitclaim deed issued and recorded by the Twin Falls County Commissioners, conveying only the title vested in the county under the tax deed process. |
| As is, no refunds | Properties are offered as is and where is, with no warranties and no representations on fitness, access, conditions, covenants or restrictions. The terms state all sales are final and there are absolutely no refunds. |
| Bid is binding | A bid is an irrevocable offer, a bid accepted is a binding contract, and a bidder is legally and financially responsible for all properties bid upon. The commissioners reserve the right to pursue legal remedies against a non paying bidder. |
| Excess funds | The county states Idaho counties now turn excess funds from tax sales over to the State Treasurer Office under Idaho Code 31-808. |
Parcels available after past sales
The treasurer Tax Sale page links to parcels available for offers from past sales, alongside past tax deed sale results, so unsold parcels remain visible for offers rather than disappearing. Under Idaho Code 31-808(6), property the county cannot sell at public auction may also be sold without further notice by public or private sale on the terms the county sets.
Before you bid
- Read the notice for the specific auction The statute sets the frame, but the notice for each sale sets the venue, the parcel list, the minimum bids, and the payment terms for that day. The county pages here link the treasurer and sale pages where those notices appear.
- Expect a quitclaim, and price the title work Most Idaho counties deed without warranty and sell parcels as is. Budget for a title search and, where the parcel matters, a quiet title action, and treat access, zoning, and condition as your own research.
- Watch the redemption tail Because redemption runs after the deed and right up to the county sale contract, a parcel on a posted list can be paid off and disappear before auction day. Recheck the list close to the sale.
