For the most current information regarding the status of upset bids during the foreclosure process, please call the office of the Clerk of Court for Cleveland County at 704-476-7803.  Ask for upset bid information and provide the Clerk’s Office file number (CV number) for the specific parcel in which you are interested.

In Cleveland County, upset bids must be filed in person with the Clerk of Superior Court and cannot be submitted electronically. The process applies to properties sold at public auctions, such as for tax foreclosures or surplus county land. 

No e-filing for upset bids: Self-represented individuals can choose to file electronically or in person for other matters, but for upset bids, the in-person requirement is specific to the handling of forms and funds. 

Things to know about purchasing a property during the foreclosure process:

  1. Lien holders against individual properties may be discovered by consulting the Complaint located in the office of the Clerk of Court in the courthouse at 100 Justice Place, Shelby, NC.  You will need to provide the file number (CVD number) to the deputy clerk. The file number can be found above.
  2. Tax information may be found through the County website:  http://www.clevelandcountytaxes.com
  3. All sales are conducted in the Commissioners' Room on the second floor of the administrative building located at 311 E. Marion Street, Shelby, NC.
  4. You do not have to register to participate in the auction.
  5. The opening bid will be announced at the time of the sale.
  6. A deposit of 5% of the final bid is required to be paid to the attorney/commissioner handling the sale.  This must be in cash or certified funds, i.e. a cashier’s check or money order.
  7. All bids are held open for ten (10) days during which upset bids may be made through the office of the Clerk of Court in-person. 
  8. All upset bids must raise the current bid by $750.00 OR by 5%, whichever is greater. 
  9. A deposit with the Clerk of 5% or $750.00 whichever is greater is required to be made in cash or certified funds at the time of the upset bid. 
  10. Each upset bid begins a new ten (10) day waiting period.
  11. Once a ten (10) day upset bid period is concluded without an upset bid, final payment must be made to the paralegal for Cleveland County located at 311 East Marion Street, Shelby, NC within 10 days. Funds must be paid in cash or certified funds (payable to Cleveland County). If the high bidder does not bring the remaining funds within 10 days of the last upset bid, they forfeit their deposit and the property will be resold. 
  12. Following the collection of the balance of the final bid and the filing of appropriate documents with the Clerk of Court, a Commissioners Deed will be prepared and delivered to the highest bidder. 
  13. The appropriate documents will be prepared and filed with the Clerk of Court to close the case.
  14. The cost of recordation of the Commissioners Deed is the responsibility of the new owner.
