where can I find Iists of government land auctions for free?

Question

I know these lists are free but the internet is flooded with scam government auction lists sites. I think the sites that have the government auction lists are listed by state and they tell what properties are for sale and what time the auction begins, etc. Can someone help?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the auction but allot of land is controlled by the BLM (bureau of land management)

maybe this link will help

Answer 2

The government actually publishes them. All you have to do is go to the government websites (those that end in .gov) and not to any lists or commercial websites because they will charge for the information.

Here's a list of government agencies that sells/auctions real estate properties:
