Please select the orange “Click Here for Deposit Instructions” link above to submit your deposit. Please review the following additional information on deposits.
What is an eCheck?
An echeck is a check that is emailed and printed rather than being mailed. In short, it is a regular check with all the features of a traditional bank check. Once printed, eChecks can be deposited like any other check: at your bank, at an ATM or using a mobile banking app.
Why use an eCheck?
eChecks are quicker, safer, and more convenient than traditional paper checks. With eChecks, Bid4Assets can refund bidders on the same day their check is issued, saving the average bidder five to seven days waiting for the mail to be delivered.
Do I need to request an eCheck?
No. All non-winning bidders will be refunded by eCheck automatically upon completion of the post-tax sale audit.
Do I need to create an account with Delux eCheck to receive my refund?
No. All recipients have the option to print their check as a "guest." There is no cost and you do not need an account with a third-party to receive your check. You may wish to create an account, particularly if you participate in many sales, to save time and unlock additional deposit options.
What happens if I do not see my refund email or I have trouble loading the message?
Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder, but if you do not see the check, no problem. Please let our Deposit Team know and we will send you the check by PDF.
Is there anything I should do while waiting for my check?
No, but it's a good idea to add [email protected] to the contact list in your email so the check does not go to your spam folder.
What if I prefer/require a physical check be mailed to me?
No problem! If you'd like a check mailed to you instead of an echeck, please let us know during or soon after a sale ends. We will mail your refund instead of emailing it.
Still have questions?
Please email our Deposits Team for further assistance.

What is an Auto Bid? An auto bid is a maximum proxy bid which is held in confidence by the system. Bid4Assets will use only as much of the maximum bid as is necessary to maintain the bidder's high bid position or to meet the reserve. Please note: If two bidders place auto bids for identical amounts on the same auction, the earlier bid will take priority.
What is Overtime?
Overtime is the extension of an auction’s close time that keeps the auction open as long as there is active bidding on it. It occurs automatically when a bid is placed within the last few minutes of an auction. The auction will remain open until an entire overtime increment (typically five minutes) has passed without any bidding. The overtime increment for an auction will be indicated on the auction listing.
How can I Monitor My Auctions?
When participating in multiple auctions at once, it is advisable to only actively bid on one property at a time. You can find a list of properties that you have bid on in the “my bid list” tab of your profile. You will also receive confirmations of your placed bids as well as notifications of being out bid in your message center.
Can I bid on Withdrawn or Postponed Auctions?
No. Auctions must be live in order for you to able to place a bid. If a property is withdrawn or postponed by a county for any reason, it is no longer open for bidding. Please note, Bid4Assets does not have knowledge of why a property is withdrawn or postponed.
At the close of an auction, the highest bidder will be deemed the winner. After all the auctions in the county have closed, winning bidders will be notified in their message center if they have won any auctions. They will also receive details on auction settlement requirements. The winning bidder will see each of the parcels that they won listed as a link to DeedWizard.
DeedWizard allows bidders to provide vesting information quickly and easily for any property they have won and access settlement instructions. Any bidder that does not win a parcel or does not participate in the auction after submitting a deposit will receive a refund.
