How foreclosure and tax sales work in Delaware
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Delaware uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by the county sheriff.
Delaware generally sells a deed to tax-delinquent property through the county sheriff (monition sales), but the former owner can still redeem it for a set period after the sale.
