Argentina (AR) — civil law.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale of land for unpaid tax, and no redemption window after a subasta judicial in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.

Finding Argentine judicial auctions

There is no single place. An Argentine subasta judicial is published by the court that orders it, under that court’s procedural code. National and federal courts follow the CPCCN and, in CABA, the CSJN portal; each of the 23 provinces follows its own CPCC, its own Boletín Oficial and — in some — its own portal. Searching “Argentina” gets you nowhere; searching jurisdiction by jurisdiction does.

Three layers decide where an auction appears.

  1. National law (CPCCN art. 566 for national courts; the equivalent article of each provincial code) requires publication by edicto in the official gazette and another newspaper.
  2. Supreme-court regulation (an acordada or acuerdo) decides whether the jurisdiction auctions on an electronic portal and what the portal shows.
  3. Court practice decides extras — additional advertising (CPCCN art. 567), whether the martillero lists the sale on his own site. A portal rule from one jurisdiction never applies in another.

The opening section is open to everyone. The procedure in detail — statutes, deadlines, who may bid, and what the record does not say — is behind a free account.

We ask for one because writing these from primary sources is slow work, and knowing who relies on it tells us which country to do next.
