Said real estate will be sold to satisfy a lien for delinquent taxes, charges, penalties, interest, and costs in the amounts as set forth following each of the above tracts of real estate, as above described, said lien for delinquent taxes, charges, penalties, interest, and costs having been determined and assessed by judgment of the above-described tracts of real estate. The real estate described in each of the items above set forth designated as a separately numbered cause of action will be sold separately.

The above-described real estate is to be sold without appraisement, and if such sale for want of time cannot be completed on the stated day, it shall be adjourned from day to day until completed. The real estate will be sold subject only to real estate taxes for 2012 and subsequent years, and shall be subject to valid covenants running with the land and to valid easements of record in use, if any there shall be.

No tract, lot, or piece of real estate offered for sale shall be sold, either directly or indirectly, to (1) any person interested in any tract lot or piece of real estate as owner or holder of the record title, his or her heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, or assigns; (2) any person who held an interest in a tract as owner or holder of the record title at any time when any tax constituting part of the County's judgment became due; (3) any parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, spouse, sibling, trustee, or trust beneficiary of a person enumerated in Paragraph (2); (4) with respect to a title holding corporation, any current or former stockholder, current officer or director, or any person having a relationship enumerated in Paragraph (3) to such stockholder, officer, or director; or (5) any person that is the record owner of other real estate upon which there are delinquent taxes of a general ad valorem tax nature or delinquent special assessments in existence as reflected by the records of the Douglas County Treasurer. Any purchaser of any tract of said real estate shall file with the Clerk of the District Court, an Affidavit stating that the purchase of the real estate was not made directly, or indirectly, for any person prohibited from purchasing.

Provided, that in the event the highest bid of any tract, lot, or piece of real estate above-described does not equal the delinquent taxes, charges, penalties, interest, and costs charged to it, the Sheriff may, at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners, bid in said tract, lot, or piece of real estate in the name of the County.

Provided further, that the terms of the sale shall be cash or certified check. Successful bidders must pay the total amount due in cash or by certified check within two hours of the end of the sale.
