Tax sales in North Carolina
Channel
Tax deed via in-rem / mortgage-style tax foreclosure sold at courthouse with 10-day upset-bid period
Platform
County-run (courthouse sales); foreclosure sale lists posted on county courthouse bulletin sites / NC courts resources
Sale schedule
Rolling year-round (per-parcel court sales)
Redemption basics
None after sale confirmation (10-day upset bid window only)
Redemption periods and sale dates are state-level basics — counties deviate. Confirm against the county's own sale notice for the current cycle.
Wholesaling in North Carolina is restricted — read this first
HB 797 (eff. Oct 1, 2025): residential wholesaling IS brokerage - license required to solicit, market or assign; sellers get a 30-day cancellation right. Effectively closed to unlicensed residential wholesaling.
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
NC is a 'licensed investors only' state for the toolkit funnel - the NC page must say so plainly and pivot to buying-at-auction content.
