How we collect and check county records →How unpaid tax and foreclosure work in Pennsylvania
County Tax Claim Bureaus hold an upset sale in the fall; parcels nobody buys go to a judicial sale and then the repository. Philadelphia sells through sheriff sales. There is no redemption after a county upset sale; in Philadelphia an occupied home can be redeemed for 9 months after a sheriff tax sale.
Mortgage foreclosures: judicial. Foreclosures go through the court of common pleas and end with a sheriff sale.
