•  What is the difference between a Sheriff Sale and a Tax Sale? Are they the same?
  A tax sale is based on back taxes, and the property is bought subject to all liens and encumbrances. A Sheriff's Sale is a foreclosure sale on one of the liens against the property. All liens that are junior to the one being foreclosed upon are wiped out. 

• Do I have to pay in full for the property that day?
  Not unless the legal notice demands it, however, most sheriff sales have a $5,000 to $10,000 down payment requirement that day. Following the Judge's approval, a confirmation of sale order will be issued, then you will have 30 days to make the final payment. If the 30th day falls on a weekend or holiday, you must make the payment on the next business day. Failure to make payments as required, may place in you in contempt of court. Tax Sales purchases must be paid in full the day of the sale by cast or Cashier's Check.
