ATTENTION TAX DEED INVESTORS

Attention Tax Deed Investors:

We need people to buy Tax Deeds to get money back into the county coffers.  Tax Deed sales keep the funds flowing so our county can continue to operate without budget hic-cups.  But the purchase of a Tax Deed does not guarantee insurable title to the property.  You need Title Insurance to defend any challenges to the validity of the sale.  

Title Insurance is necessary for Tax Deed investment.

With a Tax Deed investment, it’s not just a question of ‘Is the value there?’  Or ‘Is the home nice?’  Before the sale auction, you need to team up with a local title company, like Land Title of America, to research certain items:

• Covenants and Restrictions

• Zoning

• Comprehensive Land Plan

• Easements

• Conservation Easements

You don’t want to win the auction and then be unable to build on the property because of a zoning restriction.  Do your due diligence with a local title company ahead of the sale.  

You also don’t want to win the auction, make the changes to the property, and then lose it in a title dispute.  

Even if you’re right, attorneys are expensive.  Title Insurance will cover your court cost, and send the legal team to defend your rights.  For the best results on your investment return, do your due diligence and get Title Insurance.
