Pay the deposit
If you win, the deposit (20% of bid in cash (up to $500) or certified/treasurer’s check; due immediately) is due per county rules. Have your payment ready in the accepted format — typically cashier’s check or money order.

Key Notes for Camden County Investors
Properties sold AS-IS; no inspections permitted; Sheriff’s Office cannot authorize entry.
Sales can be adjourned, settled, cancelled, or stopped at any time. Track sales independently since re-advertising does not occur after adjournment.
If the purchaser fails to pay 20% immediately, the Sheriff may immediately resell the property.
A Sheriff’s Deed does not guarantee clear title. All superior liens survive the sale.
CWPP sign-in starts at 9:00 AM at Sheriff’s window (Room 200) on sale day. Per Aug. 2025 ruling, only defendants, next-of-kin, and tenants are eligible.
