Kentucky Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerKentucky tax sale timing: Annual county clerk sales of certificates of delinquency each summer — sales run mid-July through October, with most counties selling mid-July through late August What is sold: Tax lien certificates. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified Kentucky sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from Kentucky law.

Rate / penalty: 12% simple interest per year (1% per month), fixed by statute — no interest-rate bidding (KRS Chapter 134; see §§ 134.490, 134.549 confirming the 12% rate)

Redemption: No fixed deed-state redemption window: the owner may pay/redeem until a foreclosure sale is completed. The certificate holder may not sue to foreclose until after a 1-year tolling period from delinquency (KRS 134.546); the lien itself remains valid for 11 years from delinquency
