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.
