§ 8874 Drainage District Parcel Purchase

• •If no one bids enough money for a piece of land at a special sale, the county treasurer has to buy it.
• •The county treasurer buys the land for the amount of money that wasn't paid on time, plus extra fees like interest and costs for advertising the sale.
• •This rule was added a long time ago, in 1943.

Imagine a piece of land is for sale because the owner didn't pay their taxes. The sale starts, but no one offers enough money to cover what's owed.

In this case, the county treasurer has to buy the land. They pay the amount that wasn't paid on time, plus extra money for interest and the cost of telling people about the sale.
