The full bid amount for a sale item must be paid in a certified check from a Bank or Cash within one hour of sale. The Court Clerk’s office will not give “change” from any transaction conducted at a sheriff’s sale. Should the amount of the check be over the amount bid, the clerk will issue a receipt for the actual amount received and any overage will be paid from the clerk’s office at a later date.
After the sale the following events occur prior to the issuance of a sheriff’s deed.
A return of service on the order of sale is filed by the sheriff’s office with the clerk of the district court.
The clerk of the district court will give a receipt to the winning bidder.
An order confirming the sale will be generated, usually by the plaintiff’s attorney and signed by a judge. The orders may contain a redemption period, which is generally three months in length; although longer and shorter periods of time may be specified by the court. Redemption rights can also be extinguished altogether upon order of the court.
Following the receipt of the order confirming the sale the Plaintiff’s attorney will issue a certificate of purchase, which states the name, the length of the redemption period, if any and the amount bid by the winning bidder. The certificate of purchase will be sent to the plaintiff’s attorney or to the winning bidder. At the end of the redemption period, the buyer will surrender the original copy of the certificate of purchase to the sheriff’s office.
Following the receipt of the original copy of the certificate of purchase by the sheriff’s office, the buyer will produce a sheriff’s deed will be signed by the sheriff and given to the winning bidder.
There will be no sheriff’s deed issued for the property and the clerk of the district court will refund the money paid on the date of the sale.
