Who is eligible to purchase government land?
Generally there are no restrictions on foreigners buying raw land from us. However, we do request that non-U.S. citizens pay by credit card or wire transfer.
Are there any usage restrictions on the land you sell?
Each parcel of land is unique, and usage restrictions will vary. All the information we have on the property is included on the listing page. If you have further questions about the land, we recommend you call the County Assessor’s office and provide them with the APN to obtain additional information. If you do not see a phone number for the Assessor’s office in the listing, you can find it in the Due Diligence section of our web site—How to Buy > Researching Before You Buy > State and County Resources reference.
What is the turnaround time after I have won a bid?
You have 4 days to pay your initial invoice. Once received, and depending on the type of purchase, you then receive the DocuSign Contract for land OR a Vesting Form if the land is purchased outright. For other assets, we process and ship within a few business days and include tracking information once shipped, and Transfer of Ownership.
When the sale is complete, what documents will I receive and what do I need to do after that?
If you purchase outright with one lump-sum payment for your land, you will receive your land Warranty Deed, Property Tax Bill, Conveyance Tax Certificate and Plat Map. instructions on filing your deed with the local county.
If you purchase with financing, you will receive the Standard Agreement of Sale via DocuSign and specifics on your monthly installment payment. You review and sign your Contract, keep a copy for your files and return the original to us in the self-addressed envelope.
