1. A Notice of Sale assigns a date for the property to be sold at public auction.
   
2. Auctions are conducted in front of the bulletin boards on the Ground Floor – Salisbury Street.
   
3. Upon completion of any particular auction, a Report of Sale is filed with the Special Proceedings Division.
   
4. A ten (10) day period is provided by law for the filing of upset bids; if that ten (10) day period elapses and no upset bids have been filed, the property is considered legally sold.
   

Cash, Certified Check, or Money Order ONLY payable to the Clerk of Superior Court

For your convenience, the Clerk of Court’s Office maintains copies of all foreclosures and judicial sales in the “Report of Sale Book and Upset Bid Books” located in the lobby of the Special Proceedings Division.

 

1. After a property is sold at public auction but before the ten (10) day upset bidding period elapses, any interested party may file an upset bid (Certified Funds Only) with the Special Proceedings Division.
   
2. To file an upset bid, the bid must be raised by either $750.00 or at least 5% of the new bid (whichever is greater) must be deposited with the Clerk of Superior Court.
   
3. Once an upset bid is filed, a new ten (10) day upset bidding period begins. Once this upset bidding period elapses and no new upset bids have been filed, the property will be considered legally sold to the highest bidding party.
   
4. If the highest bidding party defaults on their bid, they may lose their deposit and a new sale process will begin.
