Find my research setup · 3 questions, no signup
Quick answer: These are 2,206 tax lien certificates the State of Arizona holds because nobody bid on them at the February tax sale (A.R.S. 42-18113). The county treasurer assigns one to anyone who pays the whole amount due on it, including interest, penalties and charges, plus the later taxes and a fee of up to $10. There is no auction (42-18122). You are buying the unpaid tax debt, not the property.

Why the age matters. A certificate the State holds dates from the February sale where nobody bid on it (A.R.S. 42-18113). Its three years run from that sale, not from the day you buy it: “at any time beginning three years after the sale of a tax lien but not later than ten years after” the lien was acquired, the holder may bring an action to foreclose the right to redeem (A.R.S. 42-18201(A)), after a notice of intent sent at least thirty and not more than 180 days before filing (42-18202). So a certificate that is already three years old can go to foreclosure right away.
