Zeus is SRI's newest government auction program. You may know it as Zeus Auction Program, or ZAP.
SRI is a local government vendor providing tax sale, commissioner certificate and deed sale, foreclosure sales, and document management services to counties/parishes in Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, and Michigan since 1989. SRI has offered online government auctions since 2004.
Zeus hosts government auctions, so local elected officials are the sellers.
Good question, Zeus makes conducting an auction simple for both county officials and users. It allows users otherwise restricted by location to participate, generating more tax revenue. SRI also provides support for users giving our officials more time to serve taxpayers. Most importantly, hosting an auction on Zeus is free.
Yes our infrastructure is built on assurance and compliance standards including but not limited to: ISO 9001, FedRAMP, DoD
An online auction is, simply, an auction where bids are submitted electronically.
It's just easier! Everything that happens at a live auction happens online, just electronically. Users register, the auctioneer (Zeus) auctions, and winners pay. It's that simple.
There are tips throughout Zeus, use these to learn more about each feature. Also, you can call or email us! Zeus is new, so we are still working on videos and other support materials the plan is to have those out by May 2015. Need more help?

Have you registered for a specific auction? Please remember, you will have to register for each auction you'd like to participate in individually. Why? Well, because a different seller holds each auction. There are new rules, guidelines, and, possibly, forms, so to ensure you get all the appropriate information we require a separate registration for each.
The approval process allows the seller to review your forms for any mistakes and ensure you meet all requirements of the auction.
Your property has delinquencies. Please contact your government official for more information.
