How foreclosure and tax sales work in Pennsylvania

General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.

Pennsylvania uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by the county sheriff.

Pennsylvania is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the county tax claim bureau (upset, judicial and repository sales) sells the property itself at auction.
