Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If a person bidding fails to pay the
amount due, the treasurer may again offer the tax lien on such land for sale if the public auction
has not closed, and, if it has closed, the treasurer may again advertise it specially in the same
manner as in the original advertisement and for not less than one week, after which the treasurer
may again offer and sell the tax liens on such lands or lots as provided in section 39-11-115; or
at the treasurer's option, the treasurer may recover the amount bid by civil action brought in the
name of the county in any court of competent jurisdiction. In a public auction conducted by
means of the internet or other electronic medium, if a person bidding fails to pay the amount due,
the treasurer may offer the tax lien, without additional advertisement, to another bidder, whether
or not the public auction has closed; or at the treasurer's option, the treasurer may recover the
amount bid by civil action brought in the name of the county in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The treasurer may prohibit a person who fails to pay the amount due from bidding
on sales under this article for up to five years.
