• WITHDRAWN – The Sheriff’s Department received a Court Order not to sell the property.

• POSTPONED – The Sheriff’s Department has received a notice from the judgment creditor to postpone the sale for a rescheduled sale date.
• CANCELLED – The Sheriff’s Department has received a notice from the judgment creditor to cancel the sale.
• UNSOLD – The property did not receive bids for purchase during the sale, the Sheriff may offer the parcel at a second sale two weeks later.

It is not unusual that a parcel may be withdrawn well in advance of the scheduled sale date. When this happens the Sheriff’s Department does not remove the listing, it is merely marked with the appropriate status to display the reason why it will not be offered for sale.

Deliver the proper Bankruptcy paperwork (with the bankruptcy seal) to the Sheriff’s Civil Land Sales Department on the 2nd floor of the Justice Center. The property will remain on the Foreclosure Sale List however it will be marked with a BANKRUPTCY status.
