North Carolina rules

How unpaid tax and foreclosure work in North Carolina

Counties collect unpaid tax by foreclosure (a court case or an in-rem proceeding), followed by a public sale. Every sale stays open 10 days for higher (upset) bids; the owner can pay the tax until the sale is final.

Mortgage foreclosures: non-judicial with a clerk's hearing. Power-of-sale foreclosures need a hearing before the clerk of superior court, and every sale has a 10-day upset bid period.
