Licytacje Komornik
- Open to private buyers
Licytacje Komornik is the official notice and auction portal of the Krajowa Rada Komornicza, Poland's National Council of Court Bailiffs, based in Warsaw. Every lot comes from an individual court bailiff (komornik) running an enforcement or other proceeding, so the stock is property and goods seized anywhere in Poland. Browsing is free; at the end of August 2026 the portal carried roughly 3,770 real-estate lots and 1,470 movable lots.

How the bidding works
Two formats run side by side. In-person auctions happen at the bailiff's office or at the goods' location on one fixed date. Electronic auctions run for a week inside the portal, and a bid in the final five minutes pushes the close back by another five, repeatedly, until the bidding stops. Only a natural person can register as a bidder, though they may bid for a company on documented authority; the debtor, the bailiff, their spouses, children, parents and siblings, anyone present in an official capacity and anyone who defaulted at a previous auction are excluded. Online, you open a personal account, join the auction - two working days before the start for ordinary real estate, otherwise by the deposit deadline - and pay a deposit (rekojmia) of one tenth of the appraised value to the bailiff's bank account or through the portal. Lots appraised under PLN 5,000 need no deposit. The opening price is three quarters of the appraisal at a first auction; at a second it is two thirds for ordinary real estate and one half for movables and simplified real-estate sales. On movables the minimum increment is 5% of the opening price, or 1% once the appraisal passes PLN 100,000; on real estate the notice sets it at 1%. Movables sold in person are paid for at once - a fifth on the hammer, the balance by 18:00 next day - and removed immediately.
What to check before you bid
Read the full notice, not the summary card. VAT varies: the Audi Q8 notice put 23% VAT inside both the appraisal and the opening price, other lots say nothing. There is no warranty - the notices state the buyer has no claim for defects. Real-estate notices usually allow viewing for two weeks beforehand, but each bailiff sets the hours, anywhere from a half-hour slot to round the clock; the valuation report is sometimes published in the system and sometimes only readable at the court or the bailiff's office. Movables are often inspected only at the bailiff's office. A sale can be called off without a reason given. The site, notices and forms are Polish only, the bidder must give a PESEL number and an identity-document number, and the deposit must reach a Polish bank account; foreigners may bid, but they need a PESEL, an account opened in person at a bailiff's office and, for real estate, a permit from the competent state authority. On real estate, title passes only once the court's award order is final.
