Carbon County Sheriff Transitions to Virtual Sheriff's Sales

Online sales will begin with January 12 auction on Bid4Assets.com

Carbon County, PA Sheriff Sale

Carbon County, Pennsylvania will move its sheriff's sales auctions to an online format using online auction platform Bid4Assets.com. By taking the process online and allowing participants to bid remotely, the county will expand the sale to a wider range of buyers. This greatly increases the chance for third-party property sales and minimizes bank-owned properties in the community. The online format also allows Carbon County to conduct all sales at no cost.

"This is an opportunity to modernize a key function of our office with numerous benefits for the community," said Carbon County Sheriff Tony Harvilla, "Auction participants will be able to place their bids in a matter of minutes from their cell phone or computer rather than spend hours at the courthouse each month, freeing up our staff with more time to assist residents looking to get their homes out of the sale. This transition is a win for all parties involved."

Bidders must register a free Bid4Assets account and fund a $1,000 deposit to participate in the sale. A full list of available properties and additional terms of sale can be viewed at www.bid4assets.com/CarbonPA.

"Carbon County is transitioning online with ideal timing," said Bid4Assets' President Jesse Loomis, "Sheriff offices throughout the Commonwealth have been experiencing the benefits of an online sale, from reduced costs to better sale results. There is a simple reason this format is being adopted so rapidly throughout sheriff offices in the Commonwealth; it works."

Bid4Assets was founded in 1999 and has conducted online tax sales for counties across the country, generating over a billion dollars in county proceeds.
