Bullitt County, KYsheriff sales & tax auctions

Kentucky foreclosures are judicial and sold by the circuit court's Master Commissioner, not the sheriff. You get a commissioner's deed after the court confirms the sale (Jefferson: typically 10+ days after the report of sale is filed). If a redemption right exists the purchaser still receives 'an immediate writ of possession and a deed containing a lien in favor of the defendant' (KRS 426.530(3)). Sold as-is; the commissioner 'does not warrant or guarantee' title (Boone).

Redemption

6 months from the sale, but only if the property 'does not bring two-thirds (2/3) of its appraised value'; the owner redeems by paying the purchase money plus 10% per annum and the purchaser's reasonable maintenance costs (KRS 426.530). County commissioners' FAQs (Jefferson, Boone) describe no redemption when the bid meets the two-thirds threshold.

Deposit

Pay in full at the sale in cash or certified funds, or put 10% down and post a bond with approved surety for the balance (Jefferson, Boone). Jefferson caps cash at $10,000 per purchaser per sale date; no bond is needed if you pay by cashier's check, money order or cash.

Balance due

Balance within 30 days of the sale, with interest on the unpaid balance (Boone: 12% per annum; Jefferson: the judgment rate).

Where

County by county at the courthouse: Jefferson (Louisville) in the Judicial Center jury pool room, 700 W. Jefferson St.; Boone on the front steps of the Justice Center, 6025 Rogers Lane, Burlington, at 9 a.m.

When

Year-round; each county's master commissioner sets its own calendar (Boone updates its sale list every Wednesday).
