If you bid in the last sale, you'll find this format very familiar. However, there are some significant changes that you should be aware of before you bid. Take a moment to review:
Online Property Details. The online information includes location maps, topography maps, aerial photos, land-based photos, GPS coordinates, descriptions and much more. All of this information will make your research and decision making easier. In addition to the expanded map selection, you may wish to locate the property using a tool like Google Earch, which can provide a lot of contextual information about the property's location. If you don't currently have Google Earth you may download it here or, simply review the maps and photos on the site.
Disclosures and Documents Online. Vacant land disclosures have been provided for each tract of land covering issues such as septic systems, wells and environmental issues. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement and Addendum that will be used for each transaction has been placed online. Just print the disclosures and Purchase Agreement documents and have them reviewed by your attorney, if you choose.
Title Insurance. Make a more confident purchasing decision by reviewing the title to each tract prior to submitting your bid. Just click on Title Commitment on the specific tract page to see the title commitment. The title commitment is the only form of title evidence, no abstract will be provided for the tracts you purchase. We strongly recommend that you purchase Title Insurance for your tract(s) at time of closing.

CTS is affiliated with First American Title, America's largest title company, and will be responsible for receiving and accounting for your funds, providing you with a closing statement and recording your deed with the County Recorder.
