(1) The action described in Section 59-2-1353 shall be tried and determined as actions to foreclose
mortgage liens, and the court shall determine and adjudge the amount of taxes, tax notice
charges, interest, penalties, and costs on each parcel of property which has been separately
assessed, and shall enter its decree determining the rights, and priorities of liens, of all parties
to the action.
(2) The court shall also in its decree direct the sheriff to advertise and sell, as in the case of sales
on execution, each parcel of property, or so much as may be necessary for the payment of
the total amount of the general taxes and tax notice charges due, with interest, penalties, and
costs, unless the amount is paid within a time named in the decree, but not to exceed 30 days
from the entry of the decree.
(3) The decree shall provide that any of the parties to the action may become purchasers at any
sale, that if less than an entire parcel of property is sold, it shall be sold at foreclosure sale in
such a manner as not to convey to the purchaser a strip of property around the entire perimeter
of the parcel, or a strip of the parcel which, if conveyed, would prevent access to the remainder
of the parcel by the redemptive owner or otherwise unreasonably diminish the value of that
remainder, as determined by the county executive.
(4) The decree shall also provide that if all delinquent taxes and tax notice charges, together with
interest, respectively levied on or listed for the parcel of property, and all penalties and costs,
are paid within the time fixed in the decree for payment, then no sale may be made.
(5) After the time for redemption has expired, if no redemption has been made, the sheriff shall
execute and deliver to the purchaser a deed conveying to the purchaser all the right, title, and
interest of each and all the parties, but subject to the lien of any general or special taxes or tax
notice charges which may have been respectively levied on or listed for the property conveyed,
other than those for the payment of which the sale has been made.
