When and where am I required to pay if I am the successful bidder?

If you are a successful bidder, you will wait until your portion of the sale is complete and then proceed to the Collector’s office. You must pay within 2 hours after all the properties have been offered. If you win a bid and do not pay the bid amount, you will be charged a fine of 25% of the bid amount, the purchase will be voided, and the property will once again be offered for sale.
