About County Sheriff Department Auctions
The Office of the Sheriff seizes vehicles to satisfy judgment debt incurred by the nonpayment of parking tickets or violations imposed by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. If the vehicle is not redeemed by the registered owner, or released to the title or lien holder, the Sheriff's Office will sell the vehicle at auction.
The Sheriff's Office holds Sheriff Auctions of seized and condemned property. Most of the property is seized as a result of drug investigations. Items may range from gold to very expensive vehicles.
Auctions are scheduled a number of times during the week at various locations throughout the City. Specific information regarding the auctions can be found on the day preceding the sale. In addition, this information is posted at the Sheriff's Offices, online, and other public places.
