NRA Sales Portal

sales.nra.bg is the official sale portal of Bulgaria's National Revenue Agency (NRA), the state tax authority. It publishes forced-sale notices for assets seized from taxpayers with unpaid public liabilities under the Tax and Social Insurance Procedure Code (DOPK), plus goods confiscated or forfeited to the state. Each sale is organised by a public enforcement officer or another NRA employee at the relevant territorial directorate or NRA office, and the location filter covers all 28 provinces; the portal itself is a notice board and search engine, not a bidding engine.

What you can buy

• Vehicles: the biggest section - passenger cars, jeeps, trucks and tractor units, buses and minibuses, tankers, trailers and campers, motorcycles and ATVs, plus boats, yachts, jet skis and even aircraft and gliders. Many are old and long off the road with their plates already surrendered, and starting prices often run to only a few hundred.
• Real estate: the second largest section - apartments, houses, garages, shops, warehouses, hotels, offices, building plots, agricultural land and forest. The property-type list runs to about fifty entries, reaching as far as dams, wind and solar parks and factory halls.
• Machinery: construction machines and truck cranes, earth-moving equipment, tractors and combines, mowers and forestry attachments, and light-industry plant such as sewing, printing and food-production machines.
• Other movables: the smallest section - computers and electronics, furniture, tools, car parts, watches and jewellery, scrap metal, textiles, seeds, artworks and antiques, often in mixed batches.

How the bidding works

Browsing needs no account, and a free email subscription sends alerts for whichever of the four categories you pick. Most current lots are sealed-bid tenders; open-outcry auctions also run and require attendance in person, perishable goods forfeited to the state are sold by direct negotiation in a separate section of the portal, and sales through a commodity exchange are a further route. Any legally capable individual, Bulgarian or foreign, and any legal entity - including a state body or municipality - may bid; the debtor, their representatives, the officials running the sale, the valuer, the custodian and NRA staff and their families are barred. The deposit is 20% of the starting price, paid separately for each lot or group of lots to the account of the relevant territorial directorate or office, and must arrive by the stated deadline. The priced offer goes in a sealed opaque envelope delivered by hand, post or courier to that office; a proxy needs a notarised power of attorney. The winner pays the balance within seven days of notification or loses the deposit, and the next bidder is called. Failed lots return at 75%, then 50%, of the original price. Movables must be collected immediately.

What to check before you bid

Everything sells as it stands: DOPK art. 241(2) excludes any claim for defects, and the portal itself warns that photos do not give a full picture of condition and that the map pin is only a rough guide. Each notice sets a viewing window and names the officer who issued it - use it. Encumbrances are yours to check, in the Property Register, the cadastre, the interior ministry vehicle register or the Central Register of Special Pledges. Beyond the hammer price, budget for the acquisition tax that must be paid before the assignment order is issued, Registry Agency recording fees, optional State Gazette publication and the cost of lifting later civil-court attachments. Notices for restricted goods such as weapons or precious metals can demand a licence or extra documents with the offer. Prices are in euro, Bulgaria's currency since the January 2026 changeover. The portal and its attached documents are Bulgarian-only, payments run through Bulgarian bank accounts, and buyers without Bulgarian registration face statutory limits on agricultural land.
