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 judicialin Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.
Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires
The highest court of the Poder Judicial de la Ciudad — first in the list of organs in art. 7 of Ley 7 (Juristeca consolidated text). Five judges, “que en ningún caso pueden ser todos del mismo sexo” (art. 22); decisions need at least three concurring votes (art. 26).
Read this before anything else on CABA: two court systems sit in one city.
| Kind of case | Court that orders the subasta | Top of the ladder |
|---|---|---|
ejecución hipotecaria, expensas, juicio ejecutivo, quiebra | Justicia Nacional en lo Civil / en lo Comercial, under the CPCCN | Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones, then the CSJN |
AGIP ejecución fiscal (ABL, inmobiliario, ingresos brutos) | City fuero Contencioso Administrativo, Tributario y de Relaciones de Consumo (CAyT y RC), under the CCAyT, Ley 189 | Cámara CAyT y RC, then the TSJ CABA |
Ley 7 art. 7 already lists City Cámaras and Juzgados “en lo Civil” and “en lo Comercial”,
but civil and commercial jurisdiction has not been transferred: private executions and their
auctions still run before the national courts (see CABA J0).
So the TSJ CABA reaches a property auction only through the fiscal route.

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.
