Oregon Tax Deed & Lien Auctions

How we rate these

Every listing says one of four things. Next to it is how many facts we hold for it, and what that much evidence is good enough for.

Worth a look

We hold the four basics (what is being sold, when, for how much, and what the property is) and nothing we hold argues against it. A claim about our record, not a promise about the property.

Needs review

We hold the basics, but a named finding wants a human first: a possible lien under the owner's name, a flood or environmental record, no mapped public road, a property check that fired, an opening bid at or above the value we hold for the parcel, or a sale the county reports as postponed.

Screened out

We hold positive evidence of a problem: recorded debt or an IRS lien that survives the sale, a lot too small to be a real parcel, a sale the county reports as over, or a sale date already past. The card names it.

Not enough data yet

One of the four basics is missing. This is not a bad rating: missing data can never produce a negative verdict.

N of 12 facts on file

How many of the 12 facts we track for this parcel we actually hold: sale kind, auction date, entry price, property class, value, lot size, living area, legal description, road access, title search, condition, sale terms. The same count on the board, the deal page and in Flexy. Hover the bar on any card to see which are still missing.

One number cannot say both how good a parcel looks and how much we actually know about it, and a low number reads as a verdict. So we do not print one. “Not enough data yet” is not a judgement about the property.
