Before you are allowed to bid at auctions, you will need to register. Some states require you to register before the day of the sale with the County Tax Collector or County Treasurer. This may require you to fill out some paper work and provide them with a taxpayer ID number. Other states may let you register on the day of the auction. In this case you will want to show up at least an hour in advance to make sure you have plenty of time before the bidding begins. Payment for successful bids is usually in the form of a cashier's check, money order, or cash. Personal checks are almost never an acceptable method of payment. Make sure to have your payment method worked out prior to attending the auction. If you are unable to pay immediately following the auction, the property will most likely be re-auctioned and you will not be able to participate.
