The regional format allows prospective buyers to bid on properties across all three counties in one centralized location rather than attending separate county auctions.

“Regional auctions have been a popular and efficient adaptation,” Commissioner Land said. “Bidders can be at the sales for multiple counties at a single event.”

The auctions will be conducted alphabetically by county.

Details for Prospective Bidders

  • Catalog & Listings: A complete Public Auction Catalog—including auction dates, times, locations, and the full listing of available parcels—is available on the official Commissioner of State Lands website at www.cosl.org.
  • Preparation: Officials advise all potential bidders to thoroughly review the buyer’s guide and the state statutes governing tax-delinquent property sales on the website prior to attending the event.

For further inquiries regarding the event, the Commissioner of State Lands Office can be reached at 501-534-5252 or via email at areaves@cosl.org.
