Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Pennsylvania has no statewide assessment ratio. Counties assess against their own base years, some decades old, and the State Tax Equalization Board publishes a Common Level Ratio per county each year. Always use the county ratio. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Pennsylvania Real Estate Tax Sale Law (RETSL). Berks County Tax Claim Bureau conducts Upset Sale (typically September; first sale after ~2 years delinquency) and Judicial Sale (typically June). Both online via Bid4Assets. 2026 Upset registration window Aug 3–28, 2026 requires multi-step Bid4Assets vesting/funding + Tax Claim Bureau virtual or in-person appointment — absolute last day Aug 28, 2026. Upset price opens at taxes, interest, fees, and certain liens; Judicial Sale can free more liens after court process.
Inherited from Pennsylvania rather than researched for Berks: type, redemption, returns, statute.
