BIDDER QUALIFICATION PROGRAM FOR TAX SALES - last updated July 11, 2011
The City of Roanoke encourages all bidders to ensure that any properties they own or have ownership interest in, prior to the tax sale, have all outstanding taxes and fees paid in full and any code violations (zoning, building, etc.) remedied. Any prospective bidder with weed abatement or demolition abatements, inoperable vehicle violations; vacant, derelict or board up house violations, court citing violations, other code violations, and delinquent city taxes, will be excluded from being the successful bidder on tax delinquent properties. All bids will be reviewed by City Departments and final approval is subject to both city review regarding the Bidder Qualification Program as well as court review. Bidder information listed on the Tax Sale Bidder Qualification Form will be checked after the sale and if it is found after the sale that the successful bidder had code violations or delinquent taxes, then the sale will be offered to the next-to-highest bidder. Successful bidders must list all property that they own or have an ownership interest in for purposes of determining if there are any delinquent taxes or code violations.
Successful bidders or successful purchasers must complete the Bidder Qualification Form and Affidavit Use of this form requires the free .
