Guaranty Waiver
All property is offered for sale 'As Is, Where Is.' Pender County makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation of any kind, expressed or implied, as to the merchantability or fitness for any purpose of the property offered for sale.

Upset Bid Process
Pursuant to G.S. 105-374(o) and G.S. 1-339.64, real property sales must remain open for a period of ten days after the filing of the report of sale to allow for the filing of an upset bid. The upset bid must exceed the reported sale price by 5% but not less than a minimum increase amount of $750. The upset bid must be delivered to the Pender County Deputy Finance Officer in the form of a certified bank check payable to Pender County and must be filed with the Pender County Register of Deeds before the close of normal business hours on or before the tenth day after the filing of the report of sale. When the tenth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or other day where the County is not open for regular business, the deposit may be made on the first day afterward that the office is open for regular business. Questions concerning placing an upset bid should be directed to the Deputy Finance Officer Angela Miller.
