If I buy land in an auction, do the tier setup fees still have to be paid?

I am interested in auctions, but am curious if you still have to pay the tier setup fees, if it takes you to a higher tier.

The land will be assigned to you as soon as the auction closes and billing has run. This may include an increase in land tier.

 

How do I take possession?

The parcel has already been assigned to you inworld once the auction ends and the billing has run.

 

Is it possible to avoid tiering up by releasing other land before confirming a new higher tier?

Arrangements with tier should be made prior to participating in an auction. Land won in auction will be delivered to the winning account and will affect peak land use.
