Annotations: Efforts to collect taxes, either through the sale of a lien on the property or sale of the property itself, cannot be categorized as a taking under U.S. Const. amend. V or Neb. Const. art. I, sec. 21. Continental Resources v. Fair, 311 Neb. 184, 971 N.W.2d 313 (2022). The issuance of a tax deed to a tax certificate sale purchaser does not impose a "fine" on the former property owner; therefore, the Excessive Fines Clause of U.S. Const. amend. VIII does not apply. Continental Resources v. Fair, 311 Neb. 184, 971 N.W.2d 313 (2022). Under this section, properties with delinquent real estate taxes on or before the first Monday of March may be sold at a tax sale.
