How is a Sheriff's (foreclosure) sale conducted?
Sales are held as a public auction. The judgment holder will provide the Sheriff's Office a starting bid, which will be announced at the time of the sale. Interested parties will then bid against each other. The winning bidder will then have two hours from the close of the sale to bring in a cashier’s check for the amount of his/her highest bid. Bidding begins promptly at 9:00 A.M. Please make cashier's checks out to the Tama County Clerk of Court.
For more information check out our Sheriff Sales page.
