New Jersey Pre-bidding

This article only applies to New Jersey pre-bidding. Different states may have different requirements regarding pre-bidding. Once pre-bidding begins and the county or GovEase has approved you, you can begin placing your bids. GovEase will send out an email to inform all bidders when the auction files are available for pre-bidding. (*Note: This article and video are updated periodically, so please check back often.) 

Follow these steps to pre-bid before the auction goes live:

1. Log in and click on "Auctions" on the left menu

  1. Select the county/township from the drop-down at the top.

3. Find the parcel or parcels you want to bid on and put in either your percent bid (18%-0%) or you can click on the Dollar ($) under the Bidding Mode.

4. If pre-bidding with the Dollar amount you are saying that you are bidding the 0% and now bidding up from the face value. All the bidding is proxy bidding, meaning the system will bid on your behalf down to (%) or up to ($) the max that you set. No bids are actually placed until the auction starts and goes live.

5. Verify your pre-bid was placed - on the right hand side you will see it under My Bid and you can also go to "reports" and view the "bidder bid detail" report
