Pennsylvania works differently. This is the county's repository of unsold property: you make an offer at or above the Tax Claim Bureau's minimum, and every taxing district must consent in writing before the sale closes (72 P.S. 5860.627), which often takes 6 to 12 weeks. Some counties instead hold a public repository sale where bids compete.
