Article 7 - Sale of Tax Liens.
Section 40-10-185 - Tax Lien Not Required to Be Offered as Being Against Property of Specific Person.

THIS SECTION WAS AMENDED BY ACT 2022-208 IN THE 2022 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE APRIL 4, 2022. THIS IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CODE SUPPLEMENT.
When a tax lien is offered for auction or sale, it shall not be necessary to list it as being against the property of any specific person. The auction or sale is not invalid by reason of the fact that the property was assessed in the name of a person other than the rightful owner or to a person unknown, if the description and the uniform parcel number of the real estate in the tax lien auction list is sufficient to identify it and the amount of taxes, interest, penalties, fees, and costs for which its tax lien is to be auctioned or sold.
