TAX TITLE LANDS
RE: Public Sale
Your letter of November 7, 1947, in re: sales of lands acquired by
the county on tax title at private sale where the land has not first
been put up for sale at a public sale, has been received and sent to
by desk.
It is our opinion that the lands may not be sold at private sales
unless and until they have been offered for public sale. Therefore,
if owing to error in advertising your county did not hold a November
sale of tax acquired property, it is our opinion that no private sale
may be made until the public sale of 1948.
