Section 15-6-410 - Assessments; Sale of Property for Delinquency; Generally.

15-6-410. Assessments; sale of property for delinquency; generally.
(a) If an assessment or any installment thereof is delinquent, the city or town, by general ordinance, may provide for the sale of property described in the local assessment roll for:
(i) The amount of the delinquent assessment or installment, together with penalty and interest accruing to date of sale;
(ii) The costs of the sale;
(iii) The execution and delivery by the treasurer of the city or town of certificates of sale to the purchaser; and
(iv) The execution by the treasurer of an assessment deed to the person entitled.
(b) The treasurer shall give notice of such sales by publishing a notice once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper published within the city or town, or if there is none, then in a newspaper of general circulation within the county. The notice shall contain a list of all property upon which assessments are delinquent with the amount of the assessments, interest, penalties and costs to date of sale, including the cost of advertising the sale, together with the names of the owners of the property, or the words "unknown owners," as they appear upon the assessment roll. The notice shall include, in addition to the legal description of the property, the street address for the property used by the United States postal service when available, or the street address used by the county or municipality if available. The notice shall specify the time and place of sale and that the property described will be sold to satisfy the assessments, interest, penalties and costs due upon it. All such sales shall be made between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and shall take place at the front door of the building in which the governing body holds its sessions. The sale shall be continued from day to day, omitting Sundays and legal holidays, until all the property described in the assessment roll on which any assessment or installment is delinquent and unpaid is sold. All sales are public, and each lot, tract or parcel of land, or other property shall be sold separately in the order in which they appear upon the assessment roll.
(c) All lots, tracts and parcels of land and other property sold for delinquent and unpaid local assessments shall be sold to the first person at the sale offering to pay the amount due on the lot, tract or parcel of land or other property. If there is no bidder for any lot, tract or parcel of land, or other property, for a sum sufficient to pay the delinquent and unpaid assessment thereon, or installment thereof, together with interest, penalty and costs, the treasurer shall strike it off to the city or town for the whole amount which he is required to collect by the sale. If any bidder to whom any property is stricken off at the sale does not pay the assessment, interest, penalty and costs before 10:00 a.m. of the day following the sale, the property must then be resold, or if the assessment sale is closed, the property is deemed to have been sold to the city or town, and a certificate of sale shall be issued to the city or town therefor.
(d) Any city or town may enter into an agreement with any person to provide that the person, in case of a sale under this section of the lots, tracts or parcels specified in the agreement, shall bid an amount at least equal to the sum of the total unpaid assessment, including delinquencies, and penalty, interest and costs to date of sale for each of the lots, tracts or parcels specified in the agreement.
