Sheriff Sales

All sales are published on Wednesdays in the Sigourney News - Review Legal Ads Section, at least 4 weeks prior to the sale. Notices are also posted on the bulletin board on the 2nd floor of the Keokuk County Courthouse, along with the north and south doors of the Keokuk County Courthouse and online on the Keokuk County homepage.

All sales are held in the lobby of Keokuk County Sheriff’s Office (204 S. Stone St., Sigourney, IA 52591) on Tuesdays at the date and time listed for each sale. Sale dates are subject to postponement or cancellation without notice.

Prior to the date of the sale, the mortgage company will submit a starting bid in the amount they are looking to recover from the sale. To be successful in purchasing the property, you must bid at least $1.00 higher than the starting bid. Prior to submitting a bid, you must show a letter from your bank (which is on bank letterhead and signed by a bank officer) which includes an amount equal to the highest limit allowed for you to bid on the property. Payment for your bid must be made IN FULL within 2 hours of the sale by cashier’s check. If you fail to furnish the complete amount, you may be subject to a lawsuit from the bidding mortgage company.
