Sioux County delinquent tax list
Short answer: Sioux County has two delinquent tax lists. The official one is published by the County Treasurer before each scheduled sale, free to download, and it lists parcel numbers and amounts owed with no owner contact. The year-round one is the delinquency record underneath it, where 19 (estimated) owners near Sioux County currently carry a distress signal. North Dakota is a deed state, so a winning bid at the sale takes the property itself.

What the Sioux list is made of
Most distressed owners carry more than one signal, so these bands overlap. Stacked signals rank highest.
How Sioux compares across North Dakota
Sioux County is the 29th largest of the 53 North Dakota counties covered here, and with a population near 3,713 it is one of the smallest counties in the country. Expect a short list and very little competition for it: at this size a single filing moves the whole picture, so check back rather than working it once.
| County | Seat | Flagged owners | Per 10k residents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cass County | Fargo | 522 | 27.5 |
| Ward County | Ward County | 329 | 48.1 |
| Grand Forks County | Grand Forks | 314 | 42.4 |
| Burleigh County | Bismarck | 235 | 23.5 |
| Williams County | Williams County | 188 | 46.1 |
| Morton County | Morton County | 188 | 55 |
Density matters more than the raw count when you are choosing where to work. A smaller county with a high per-capita figure often has less competition per lead than the metro next door.

The official Sioux list vs. this one
Both are worth having. They answer different questions.
| Sioux official sale list | The LowBaller list | |
|---|---|---|
| Who publishes it | The County Treasurer | LowBaller, from county and public records |
| When it exists | Only in the run-up to each scheduled sale | Year round, refreshed daily |
| Format | A PDF or spreadsheet of parcel numbers and amounts owed | A ranked table with a map pin, photo and estimated value on every row |
| Owner contact | Not included | Phone and email on unlock, and no credit is spent when nothing verifies |
| Ranking | Alphabetical or by parcel number | Hardest situation first, by foreclosure stage, years behind and equity |
| Timing advantage | Everyone bidding sees the same list on the same day | Owners appear months before any auction, while a private sale still solves their problem |
Working the Sioux list
What actually matters in a county this size, at this level of distress, under North Dakota timelines.
Off the main road
Sioux County ranks 29 of 53 covered North Dakota counties and holds about 0.7% of the state's flagged properties. Most buyers never scroll this far down the state, which is the entire argument for working it.
Small enough that nobody competes
With a population near 3,713, Sioux is far below the size any list vendor bothers with. The list is short and a per-capita rate would be meaningless at this scale, but what is there is effectively uncontested.
All of Sioux County
The scan centres on Sioux County and reaches 25 miles out, widening to 50 when the list runs thin. In a county this size that usually spans several towns, each with its own price level, so read the estimated value on each row rather than the discount alone.
The North Dakota clock
Foreclosure here typically runs 4 to 8 months from filing to sale. The tax clock and the mortgage clock run independently, so check both before you decide how hard a deadline an owner is actually facing.
Why Sioux investors work it before auction day
No bidding war
At the sale you are one of a room full of bidders on the same parcel. Months earlier you are the only person who called.
You can see the house
A private sale means an inspection and a clean title search. Deed auctions in North Dakota rarely give you either.
The owner keeps something
An owner with equity who sells early clears the tax debt and walks away with money. At the sale, they usually walk away with nothing.
Sioux County delinquent tax list FAQ
How do I get the Sioux County delinquent tax list?
Two lists exist and they are not the same. The official one comes from the County Treasurer, is published as a PDF or spreadsheet before each scheduled sale, and disappears between sales. The year-round one is the delinquency record itself, which is what LowBaller compiles: roughly 19 properties around Sioux County currently carry at least one distress signal, ranked by how much pressure the owner is under.
Is there a free Sioux delinquent property tax list PDF?
Yes. The County Treasurer publishes the pre-sale list free of charge, usually as a PDF or a downloadable spreadsheet tied to a specific sale date. It gives you parcel numbers and amounts owed. It does not give you owner contact details, an estimated value, or any indication of which owners would actually take a low cash offer.
When is the Sioux County tax sale?
Sioux County publishes its own schedule, and it moves. The North Dakota pattern is the thing that holds steady: Counties take tax deeds and hold annual November auctions; owners can redeem before the sale. Check the county's pre-sale notice close to the date, because the list shrinks daily as owners redeem.
Can I buy Sioux tax-delinquent property before the auction?
Yes, and it is usually the better trade. There is no bidding war, the owner clears the debt with a clean sale instead of a forced one, and you are not buying blind. The window is the months between the delinquency appearing in the record and the sale being scheduled, which is exactly the period this list covers.
What does a winning bid actually get you in North Dakota?
North Dakota is a deed state, so a winning bidder takes the deed itself, so a winning bid transfers ownership of the property. Counties take tax deeds and hold annual November auctions; owners can redeem before the sale. That difference matters more than the discount: in a lien state you are buying a debt with a yield, and in a deed state you are buying a house.
How far below market do Sioux deals close?
The strongest current leads near Sioux County support start bids around 43% under estimated value. Across the whole list, hard distress such as a scheduled auction or a stacked tax lien closes 25 to 45% under market, while softer signals like long-distance ownership land closer to 15 to 30% under. Sioux runs denser in distress than the North Dakota average, so stacked-signal owners, the ones who accept the widest discounts, turn up more often here than in a typical county in this state. Equity sets the ceiling, because an offer cannot go below what clears the owner's mortgage.
How many tax-delinquent properties are there in Sioux?
About 19 properties within 25 miles of Sioux County currently show at least one motivation signal in public records, and tax delinquency is among the most common. That works out to 51.2 flagged properties per 10,000 residents, against 37.2 across North Dakota as a whole, and makes Sioux the number 29 of the 53 North Dakota counties covered here by population. That figure moves daily as owners pay, redeem or fall further behind.
Do I need a Sioux address to search, or can I search the whole county?
Either. Run the scan on any Sioux ZIP and you get the full ranked list for the surrounding area, or check one specific address to see whether that owner carries a distress signal. The scan is free; the full list opens with a 7-day trial, and credits are only spent when an owner's phone number comes back.
