Seward County staff reported to commissioners that a court journal entry tied to a county judgment was submitted to the district court on May 8 and that the county is waiting for the judge’s approval before proceeding with a tax sale.
County staff said the outside firm handling the tax sale is still finalizing the petition and that the timeline for required legal publications and other steps makes a summer sale unlikely. "I think it's probably gonna be in the fall," a county staff member said during the update.
