Quick answer: Arizona counties hold 22 tax-lien certificates you can buy over the counter at the statutory price, with no auction. You are buying the unpaid tax debt, not the property.
These are La Paz County tax-lien certificates that drew no bid at the tax sale, so the county kept them. You buy the certificate over the counter, not the property, and the owner can still redeem. Underwrite the parcel anyway, as if you might end up owning it.
How Arizona sells these. There is no auction: you buy the State's certificate from the county treasurer by assignment. Some counties sell assignments only part of the year (Pima: April 1 to December 15; Mohave: April 15 to November 30).

Frequently asked questions
What does over-the-counter mean in La Paz County?
When a La Paz County tax-lien certificate gets no bid at the tax sale, the county keeps it and later sells or assigns it to a buyer who applies, with no auction. You buy the certificate, not the property, and the owner can still redeem; the price rules differ by state.
How do I buy an OTC property in La Paz County?
La Paz County publishes its held/available list and an application process — typically a form plus payment of the taxes and fees. DeedFlex members see the scored La Paz County OTC list with valuations and hidden-lien flags to pick targets before applying.
Are La Paz County OTC properties cheaper than auction?
A certificate's over-the-counter price is what is owed on it, so there is no bidding premium. The tradeoff is the inventory skews toward what bidders passed on, so research the parcel as if you might end up owning it.
