§ 8889 Drainage District Land Sales

Key Takeaways

•If the drainage district buys land at a sale for unpaid taxes and still owns it later, they must sell it at a public auction.
•The sale must be announced in public notices for two weeks before it happens.
•The highest bidder who pays cash gets the land, and the district gives them the official papers to prove they own it.

Example

A drainage district buys a piece of land because the owner didn’t pay taxes. After some time, the district still owns the land.

The district must sell this land at a public auction. They have to advertise the sale in public notices for two weeks. Whoever offers the most money and pays cash gets the land, and the district gives them the official ownership papers.

When any lands purchased at the delinquent sale by the drainage district remain unsold then the board shall sell all such lands so held by the drainage district at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, upon two weeks published notice substantially in the manner provided for notice upon delinquent sales, and shall execute to the purchaser a conveyance, which deed shall convey title to the land as prescribed in this chapter. (Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
