1 4 shall offer at public sale all parcels on which taxes are
1 5 delinquent. The sale shall be made for the total amount of
1 6 taxes, interest, fees, and costs due. If for good cause the
1 7 treasurer cannot hold the annual tax sale on the third Monday

1 15 the notice by sending it by regular first class mail to the
1 16 person's last known address not later than May 1 of each
1 17 fiscal year. The notice shall contain a description of the
1 18 parcel to be sold which is clear, concise, and sufficient to
1 19 distinguish the parcel to be sold from all other parcels. It
1 20 shall also contain the amount of delinquent taxes for which
1 21 the parcel is liable each year, the amount of the interest,
1 22 fees, and the actual cost of publication of the notice as
1 23 provided in subsection 2, all to be incorporated as a single
1 24 sum. The notice shall contain a statement that, after the
1 25 sale, if the parcel is not redeemed within the period provided
1 26 in chapter 447, the right to redeem expires and a deed may be
1 27 issued.
1 28 2. Publication of the date, time, and place of the annual
1 29 tax sale shall be made once by the treasurer in at least one
1 30 official newspaper in the county as selected by the board of
1 31 supervisors and designated by the treasurer at least one week,
1 32 but not more than three weeks, before the day of sale. The
1 33 publication shall contain a description of the parcel to be
1 34 sold that is clear, concise, and sufficient to distinguish the
1 35 parcel to be sold from all other parcels. All items offered
2 1 for sale pursuant to section 446.18 may be indicated by an "s"
2 2 or by an asterisk. The publication shall also contain the
2 3 name of the person in whose name the parcel to be sold is
2 4 taxed, the amount delinquent for which the parcel is liable
2 5 each year, the amount of the interest, fees, costs, and the
2 6 cost of publication in the newspaper, all to be incorporated
2 7 as a single sum. The publication shall contain a statement
2 8 that, after the sale, if the parcel is not redeemed within the
2 9 period provided in chapter 447, the right to redeem expires
2 10 and a deed may be issued.
2 11 Sec. 3. Section 446.28, Code 1999, is amended to read as
2 12 follows:
2 13 446.28 SUBSEQUENT SALE.
2 14 If for good cause, a parcel cannot be advertised and
2 15 offered for sale on the third Monday of June or on another
2 16 date in June designated by the treasurer, the county treasurer
2 17 shall make the sale on the third Monday of the next succeeding
2 18 month in which the required notice can be given.
2 19 EXPLANATION
2 20 Parcels with delinquent property taxes are currently
2 21 offered at a public sale held annually on the third Monday of
2 22 June. This bill allows the county treasurer to designate a
2 23 date in June other than the third Monday of June on which to
2 24 hold the annual tax sale.
