The Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) will conduct a “First-Come First-Served Special Deed Tax Sale.” OTR will receive offers to buy any of the real properties remaining bid back from the July 2011 Tax Sale and appearing on the attached list.

The sale is on a first-come first-served basis, and will begin on Thursday, September 29, 2011, and end on Wednesday, October 18, 2011. The hours are from 8:15 am to 4 pm each day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. A purchaser must be registered in order to make an offer to purchase. Full payment of the purchase price must be received at the time of registration in the form of a certified or cashier's check, made payable to the DC Treasurer.

The sale amount for each property shall be the corresponding amount on the list; this amount generally represents only delinquencies from Tax Year 2010, including associated accruals and costs. Other liabilities may be owed and may have to be paid before a tax deed can issue. A purchaser acts at his or her own risk, and must exercise due diligence in selecting real properties to purchase.

Registration begins when the sale begins. Registration for the sale is mandatory, and purchasers with required documents and payment will be registered in order of arrival time. Purchasers must come to 1101 4th Street, SW, Suite 550W, to register. At registration, a copy of the purchaser’s Treas. Form W-9 must be submitted.  Purchasers are also required to have completed Form FR-500, Combined Business Tax Registration Application, prior to or at the time of registering. The Form FR-500 may be found at OTR’s website (www.taxpayerservicecenter.com), under “Tax Forms/Publications.”
