Bidding on tax-sale.info is easy and can be done one of two ways:
1) To use the tax-sale proxy bid service:
*** Only a modern web browser is needed for this service
a) log in with your tax-sale.info username and password
b) browse the catalog to find a lot to bid on
c) click on the lot for more details
d) at the bottom of the lot you may enter the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the property
Upon entering a maximum bid, the lot will be added to 'Parcels I am watching'.
The system will work to try to acquire the lot for the least amount of money.
Please be aware that when the auction starts, you may be immediately outbid by another proxy, online or floor bid.
2) To use the interactive bidding client:
Preparing to bid on property via tax-sale.info:

Once you have registered for online bidding, you will need some supporting software to run our client software.
To run the client software, you will need install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE).
