How Huron County Sheriff Sales Work: A First-Timer’s Guide to Online Foreclosure Auctions
Never bid at a sheriff sale before? The trickiest part is usually figuring out where the auction happens, what you need to do beforehand, and how payment works if you win. Here's how Huron County's online sheriff sales work.
Huron County runs its real estate foreclosure and delinquent tax sheriff sales online through Realauction's "Official Public Sheriff's Sale Website." You won't be bidding in person at the courthouse - everything happens on the Realauction platform.
Sales happen on a regular schedule: Mondays at 10:00 AM. Plan your prep time around that start - you'll want to be registered and ready before bidding opens.
Before you can bid, you'll need to register with Realauction and place an online deposit. The deposit must be in place before bidding opens, so don't wait until auction morning to get set up.
Deposit Tiers
- ✓ Appraisal of $10,000 or less: $2,000 online deposit
- ✓ Appraisal of more than $10,000 and up to $200,000: $5,000 online deposit
- ✓ Appraisal of more than $200,000: $10,000 online deposit
Win the auction? Balances due after sale confirmation must be paid to The Huron County Sheriff's Office by bank certified check or money order made payable to The Huron County Sheriff's Office. Plan ahead - personal checks, company checks, home equity loan checks, and cash are all rejected.
Only bid if you're ready to follow through. Fail to pay the balance, and your deposit is forfeited to the plaintiff - it goes toward advertising costs, resale expenses, and interest charges.
