Labette County will begin advance bidder registration today for the County Delinquent Tax Sale scheduled for later this month.

 

Bidders can register in person at the Labette County Treasurer's office, located at 501 Merchant Street in Oswego. Registration is available from 8:30 to 5pm Monday through Friday until the day before the sale. Bidders can also register on the day of the sale between 7:45 and 9am.

Additional restrictions may apply to relatives and individuals acting on behalf of those who have redemption rights. Purchasers must file a Bidder’s Affidavit with the Clerk of the Court before title can transfer. Deeds will be issued only in the name of the person signing the affidavit, with a separate deed issued for each parcel purchased.
