Nebraska State Overview
Nebraska counties hold their tax lien auctions annually on the first Monday of March. These tax sales are usually directed by the treasurer at the county courthouse or similar facility. Nebraska counties also work similarly to Iowa counties when it comes to the bid method. According to state law they have a "bid down the ownership" method; however, many of the counties choose to do a random selection or rotational method.
In Nebraska, county treasurer's and tax collector's sell tax lien certificates to the winning bidder at the delinquent property tax sale.
