The sale, in numbers

The published list carries 104 properties for the December 1 sale. One data note, stated plainly: the county's published list for this sale does not carry amounts due or minimum bids for these parcels, so neither do we. The report for this sale is the complete parcel list exactly as the county published it — no estimated amounts, no invented figures. What you are buying is completeness and currency: every parcel, kept current as the county's list changes, instead of a stale PDF pulled weeks before the sale.

How this Kansas sale works

Kansas counties bid delinquent parcels in themselves and later foreclose judicially, so by the time a parcel reaches the sheriff's sale the county already holds the claim. The sale conveys the property with no post-sale redemption — the owner's last chance to redeem is before the sale. A sheriff's deed issues only after the court confirms the sale, and a procedural challenge to set the sale aside can be brought for up to 12 months after confirmation, so title is not fully settled in year one.

Before Tuesday: how to work this list

Start from the full list on the Bourbon County page linked below and work it down to a bid list before sale day: screen for the areas and property types you actually buy, verify each finalist against county records, and confirm registration, deposit and payment rules with the county tax sale office well before December 1. The sale is on December 1; the buyers who win it are the ones who did the sorting in advance, not the ones scrolling on sale day.

Questions

Why doesn't the report show amounts owed?
The county's published list for this sale does not include amounts due for these parcels. We publish data exactly as the county releases it and never invent figures — the report is the complete, current parcel list; amounts can be confirmed per-parcel in the county's tax records.

Can the owner redeem after a Kansas sheriff's sale?
No — redemption ends at the sale. A sheriff's deed issues after the court confirms the sale, though a procedural challenge to set the sale aside can be brought for up to 12 months after confirmation.
