ELKO, Nev., May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Elko County, NV Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office conducted the county’s latest virtual tax foreclosure sale with Bid4Assets, a leading online auction marketplace for distressed real estate sales. The sale, which ran from April 14 to April 18, consisted of 199 properties. All 199 of those properties sold at auction.
By conducting tax sales online, Elko County has successfully exposed the county’s most distressed properties to a much wider base of potential buyers. This allows for a greater amount of those properties to be returned to the tax rolls. Funds generated from the sale support essential county services, which can face shortfalls when taxes go unpaid.
“The chance to see sale results like this is in part what led us to move our tax sale process online in the first place,” said Elko County Treasurer Cheryl Paul. “By creating the opportunity for more bidders to participate in auctions, we knew there was potential to return properties to tax-paying status.”
Elko County first began conducting tax sales online with Bid4Assets in 2021. Since that time, the county has successfully sold over 750 properties.
“This sale exemplified the benefits of virtual sales, with over 150 bidders participating from 16 states across the U.S.,” said Bid4Assets President Jesse Loomis. “Elko County maximized their revenues, as well as excess proceeds for property owners. Best of all, they’ll never receive a bill for our services This was a win-win all around.”
