In some instances, the buyers held a lien against the property. In other cases the buyers owned property adjacent to the sale property.

None of these sales are finalized until confirmed by a judge of the district court If the past due taxes are paid by the original owners, they keep the property. They have until the judge holds a confirmation hearing to redeem the property.If the property sells for more than the taxes and liens due, the balance of the funds revert to the original owners or heirs.
