Sale of real property if personalty insufficient.
THIS SECTION WAS AMENDED BY ACT 2021-515 IN THE 2021 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2021. TO SEE THE AMENDED VERSION, SEE THE VERSION LABELED PENDING.
When no personal property can be found out of which the taxes of any delinquent taxpayer can be collected, or an amount insufficient to fully satisfy such taxes, the real estate of such taxpayer or the real estate upon which such taxes are a lien shall be sold for the payment thereof, or of the balance due thereon, in the manner hereinafter prescribed. But the failure of the tax collector to so exhaust such personal property shall not invalidate the sale of any real estate.
