Bidding Information:

This auction is a live event with online bidding. Pre-bidding opens on November 7 and will close during the live auction on November 19 at 6:30 PM. The auction is conducted as Bidder’s Choice, and bidding will be per acre based on the tax bill. While in-person attendance is encouraged, online bidders must be accessible by phone during the live event.

• Max Bidding: Pre-bidders may set a maximum bid. The highest online price-per-acre bid will become the starting bid in the live auction. Note that once the live auction begins, the system will no longer bid on behalf of online participants. Arrangements should be made for proxy bidding if necessary.
• Bidder’s Choice: During the live auction, the winning bidder in each round will have the right to choose one or more tracts at the final price-per-acre (based on the tax bill). If the bidder selects all tracts, the auction will conclude. If not, bidding will reset for the remaining tracts until the auctioneer finalizes the sale. The seller retains the right to approve or reject the final bid price. Online bidders must be available for phone contact after each round or make proxy arrangements.

Registration: All bidders must complete registration, providing name, address, phone number, and email. A Property Peddler team member will contact bidders to request a copy of a current state ID to finalize registration for online bidding.
