The Search for Land:

Tax Sale to Homestead Checklist

Zillow isn’t the only way to find land for your future homestead.

I’m sharing the exact Tax Sale Checklist that I use to find and research properties for my homestead.

It’s a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to see how this process actually works from the ground up.

This Checklist Covers:

  • What to confirm before you look at a single property

  • Where to get the tax sale list and how the process works

  • The legal checks that protect you before you ever bid

  • How to research a property without leaving your couch

  • A simple test to know if the land can support your homestead plans.

  • What to have ready before you walk into an auction

  • How to track everything during the waiting period

  • What to do if the owner never pays and the process moves forward

This is one section of the property that I am currently pursuing through the tax sale foreclosure process as I work toward establishing my own permanent homestead.
