A plain-English summary of state rules, with links to the statutes and official pages. It is general information, not legal advice; rules change and each sale has its own terms.
Kentucky foreclosures go through the courts. The circuit court orders a sale, usually run by its master commissioner. In Fayette County (Lexington) sales are held at noon at the Fayette Circuit Court building, 120 North Limestone, or online when the commissioner chooses.[1]
Before a judicial sale the property is appraised, under oath, by two disinterested residents of the county, and the written appraisal is filed with the court.[2]
If the property sells for less than two-thirds of the appraised value, the owner can redeem within 6 months by paying the price plus 10% a year interest and some costs. The buyer gets possession right away, but the deed carries a lien for that redemption right.[3]
Unpaid property tax bills become certificates of delinquency. County clerks sell these liens to third-party buyers at an annual sale. Buying one gives you a lien, not the property. You must register with the county clerk before each sale.[4]
Buyers need state registration with the Department of Revenue to hold more than 3 certificates in one county, more than 5 statewide, or more than $10,000 in a year.[5]
Many of the auctions on this page run on online platforms such as RealINSIGHT Marketplace or Tranzon. These are usually sales directed by a lender, receiver or owner (often bank-owned "REO" property), and they follow the platform's own terms, not a state foreclosure statute. Read the terms on each listing: some charge the buyer a premium on top of the winning bid, and a seller may keep the right to accept or reject the high bid.
