How sheriff sales work in York County
Pennsylvania foreclosures go through the Court of Common Pleas. After a judgment, the York County Sheriff advertises the property and sells it at public auction. Lists include mortgage foreclosures and municipal tax or lien claims. Many sales are postponed, stayed or cancelled.
Bidders pay a deposit at the sale and the balance by the sheriff's deadline. Liens that survive the sale, transfer taxes and other costs vary, so check the conditions of sale.
Our Pennsylvania data comes from county sheriffs' published sale lists. It does not cover every county yet; more coming.

How does a Pennsylvania property reach a sheriff sale?
Pennsylvania mortgage foreclosures are judicial. After the lender wins a judgment, the court issues a writ of execution and the county sheriff sells the property at public auction after posting and advertising it (Pa. R.C.P. 3129.1 to 3129.3). Municipal tax and utility claims can also be enforced through sheriff sales.
What happens after the sheriff sale?
The winning bidder pays a deposit at the sale and the balance within the time the sheriff sets. The sheriff files a schedule of distribution and then delivers the deed. There is generally no right of redemption after a mortgage foreclosure sale, but sales can be challenged or set aside, so read the conditions of sale.
