The Sheriff or his agent will sell the property to the highest bidder for cash upon oral bids under the rules governing the auction sales generally. The bid must start at the amount of the opening bid set out opposite each tract, and no bid of less that this figure will be accepted by the officer conducting the sale. This property is being sold for taxes, and all sales are made subject to redemption within six (6) months after date deed is filed, unless property is a residence homestead or designated for agricultural use when the tax suit was filed, in which case the period is still two (2) years. Purchaser will receive the ordinary type of Sheriff’s deed which is without warranty, expressed or implied. It will also be necessary that the bidders satisfy themselves concerning the location of the property on the ground prior to the sale as the amount of property being offered will make it impossible to give this information as the sale progresses. Maps and plats of these subdivisions are on file in the office of the County Clerk at the Courthouse and all papers in the suits on which this sale is based are on file in the office of the District Clerk. Volume and Page references are to Jones County Deed Records, unless otherwise indicated.
To be eligible to bid, a statement of No Tax Due must be submitted by your prior to the sale to the Officer conducting the sale. A form requesting such a statement can be obtained at the Jones County Appraisal District.
For more information, please contact Jones County.
