-Buyer Beware

Note: This is a buyer-beware sale--all sales are final. We offer the properties on an ’as is’ and ’where is’ basis. Cherokee County makes no representation or warranty, express or implied. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate the property before bidding. Anyone considering buying property at a tax foreclosure sale should be aware that there is a risk. The County does not guarantee or provide any warranty.

It is your responsibility to research and obtain information regarding the property, prior to the sale!! It is important to note that the deed description of the property or properties contained in this ad may or may not be the exact description of what is being sold. The property to be sold is that property contained in the deed description, save and except any conveyances of record. In other words, the deed description may include portions of land that have been sold off by the current owner, portions that are not subject to the sale.

Failure to Pay

If a bidder fails to follow through with their winning bid, the bidder will forfeit the deposit, and the property will be resold. If the next bid is less than the original winning bid, a default judgment will be entered against the defaulting bidder for the loss.

Additional Taxes

Properties sold may be subject to IRS Tax Liens, City/County Taxes for any years not covered under our judgment, and other restrictions of record.

For other questions pertaining to the taxes owed, please contact our office at:  Collections (email), or you can call us at 828-837-2421, Ext. 2124.  All foreclosure questions or concerns should be directed to the Kania Law Firm, whose contact information is provided below.
