redemption period; application for authorization; appraisement; disposition of proceeds. A. No real property shall be sold by the trustee to satisfy a delinquent assessment until at least fifteen days after the date of the order, judgment or decree of the court, within which time the owner of the tract or parcel of land may pay off the decree and avoid the sale. Any real estate sold under any order, judgment or decree of court to satisfy the lien may be redeemed at any time within one year of the date of sale by the owner or mortgage holder or other person having an interest, or their assigns, by repaying to the purchaser or his assign the amount paid with interest from the date of purchase at the rate of twelve percent per year. B. After expiration of the fifteen-day period, the trustee may sell the property at a public or private sale subject to the right of redemption, and, if not paid from the proceeds of the sale, subject to the indebtedness claimed under the lien, ad valorem taxes and other special assessments having a lien on the property which is coequal with the lien for ad valorem taxes. C. The proceeds of the sale of the foreclosed tract or parcel of land at either a private sale or a public sale shall be applied as follows: (1) first, to the payment of costs in giving notice of the sale and of conducting the sale; (2) second, to costs and fees taxed against the tract or parcel of land in the foreclosure proceedings; (3) third, on a pro rata basis, to the indebtedness claimed under the lien and to ad valorem taxes and other special assessments having a lien on the property that are coequal with the ad valorem taxes; and (4) fourth, after all such costs, liens, assessments and taxes are paid, to the former owner, mortgage holder or other parties having an interest in the tract or parcel, upon such person providing satisfactory proof to the court of such interest and upon approval of the court. Receipts for the satisfaction of the indebtedness claimed under the lien shall be paid into the proper improvement district fund for payment of the interest and the bonds or assignable certificates. In case of the sale of any tract or parcel of land subject to more than one delinquent assessment, such remaining proceeds shall be distributed into the proper improvement district funds for such payment pro rata based upon the total unpaid amount due each such district.
