2 1 issued.
2 2 2. Publication of the date, time, and place of the annual
2 3 tax sale shall be made once by the treasurer in at least one
2 4 official newspaper in the county as selected by the board of
2 5 supervisors and designated by the treasurer at least one week,
2 6 but not more than three weeks, before the day of sale. The
2 7 publication shall contain a description of the parcel to be
2 8 sold that is clear, concise, and sufficient to distinguish the
2 9 parcel to be sold from all other parcels. All items offered
2 10 for sale pursuant to section 446.18 may be indicated by an "s"
2 11 or by an asterisk. The publication shall also contain the
2 12 name of the person in whose name the parcel to be sold is
2 13 taxed, the amount delinquent for which the parcel is liable
2 14 each year, the amount of the interest, fees, costs, and the
2 15 cost of publication in the newspaper, all to be incorporated
2 16 as a single sum. The publication shall contain a statement
2 17 that, after the sale, if the parcel is not redeemed within the
2 18 period provided in chapter 447, the right to redeem expires
2 19 and a deed may be issued.
