Alabama Bid-Down Auction Instructions

Updated: May 19, 2020

Those few counties using the new Alabama Tax Lien Auction "interest rate bid down" system allow investors to place their lowest annual interest they are willing to accept on the face value amount. Bids start at 12% simple interest per annum prorated monthly (Think 1% a month.) The lowest acceptable bid is 0% per annum. Bidding can be in 1% increments. The winner is determined by the lowest interest bid placed. If there is a tie at 0%, a random number generator will select the winner. (Think 0% per month.)


Pre-bidding allows bidders the convenience of reviewing properties and selecting the minimum interest rate they are willing to bid on a property at live auction. This bid can be placed once the county has opened prebidding. Go to http://govease.com/auctions for auction dates.
