RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Riverside County, California Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office will host its annual tax-defaulted property sale in collaboration with online auction provider Bid4Assets, the leading online marketplace for the sale of distressed government real estate. Online bidding for more than 152 properties will begin April 25, 2024, at 8:00 AM PT and end April 30, 2024, at staggered times.

“Since 2003, Bid4Assets has helped Riverside County return over 7,000 tax-defaulted properties to the tax rolls, generating over $115 million in sales proceeds,” said Bid4Assets President Jesse Loomis. “Riverside County conducts one of the largest tax sales in the country. This sale would consume a tremendous amount of resources as a live event, but is now seamless and efficient for both bidders and county staff.”

Hosting the sale in an online format has numerous benefits, from combating collusion to increasing sales proceeds. Funds raised from the sale support essential county services.

The sale includes a wide range of properties, with minimum bids as low as $2,575 for a .18-acre lot in Blythe to a minimum bid of $236,027 for a 2.16-acre parcel with a commercial structure assessed at over $500,000. All auctions are no reserve, meaning the highest bid at or above the minimum will win the property.

Bidders must register for a free Bid4Assets account and fund a $2,500 deposit plus a $35 processing fee before being eligible to participate in the sale. Deposits are due no later than Monday, April 22, 2024. To view more details about this auction, including a full list of available properties, visit Bid4Assets.com/Riversidecounty.
