How foreclosure sales work in Pottawattamie County
Iowa mortgage foreclosures usually go through the district court. After judgment, the Pottawattamie County Sheriff publishes a notice of sale and auctions the property; the lender usually bids first, and other bidders must pay promptly in certified funds.
Some sales carry a redemption period and some do not, depending on the decree. Sales are often postponed, so confirm the date with the sheriff shortly before the sale.
