Clay County runs its tax sales under Missouri state rules: it is a tax lien state with a redemption posture of 1 yr.
At the county collector's August sale you buy a certificate of purchase. The owner has one year to redeem, and can still redeem after that until you take the deed. To take the deed you must order a title search, mail redemption notices to the owner and every recorded lienholder at least 90 days before, and have the collector's deed recorded within 18 months of the sale, or the certificate is lost (RSMo 140.340, 140.405, 140.410). Property offered for a third year gets only a 90-day redemption; after the third offering the county sells it with an immediate collector's deed and no redemption (140.250). St. Louis City instead forecloses in court and the sheriff sells the property (Chapter 92).
Missouri's annual sale (fourth Monday in August) is a premium auction: bidding starts at the taxes owed and goes up. Bidders who do not live in Missouri must appoint a Missouri resident as agent. You earn up to 10% a year on the taxes and costs you paid, 8% on later taxes you pay, and nothing on any amount you bid above the taxes. You must pay the later years' taxes and take the deed within 18 months or you lose the certificate. Missing a single required notice costs you the whole purchase. Post-third-offering property is sold outright with no redemption. St. Louis City sells through sheriff's land tax sales that a judge must confirm; the deed requires you to get an occupancy permit before resale.
