FAQs

There will be no Sheriff's Deed issued for the property and the clerk of the district court will refund the money paid on the date of the sale. Redemption periods are generally 90 days unless extinguished by the court.

The full bid amount for a sale item must be paid in cash, certified check, or money order on the day of the sale. The money will be paid to the clerk of the district court's office. You will be given a receipt for the cash, certified check, or money order.

The bids are based on how much the person owes, not on how much the property is worth.

The sheriff's office has no prior knowledge of how much a property's opening bid will be. The sheriff's office receives the opening bid at the time of auction.

No. The sheriff's office has no control over the foreclosed properties. We don't know what condition the property is in or how long or if it is vacant.

If the street address is not listed on the published order, the sheriff's office will not have it. Instead, interested parties should contact the county clerk's office to obtain such information. Information can be viewed in the open court file, which is available through the clerk of the district court.

The case caption, district court case number, name of the attorney for the plaintiff issuing the order of sale, and the legal description of the property.

Sheriff Mortgage Foreclosure Sales are subject to change on a day-to-day basis and we are not able to respond to individual inquiries regarding list of properties for sale. See Sheriff's Sales - Foreclosures for more information. Persons interested in bidding on items being sold should refer to the Reno County papers of record, The Hutchinson News, and the Turon Record.

The Reno County Sheriff's Office conducts sales of real estate under court order. Mortgage Foreclosure Sales are held each Tuesday (except holidays) at 10 a.m. in the Reno County Courthouse, 206 West First, Hutchinson, Kansas 67501. The sale is held inside of the Courthouse, past the security desk.

After the sale, the following events occur prior to the issuance of a Sheriff's Deed:

  1. After the sale, the attorney of record with the clerk of the district court files a Return of Service on the Order of Sale.
  2. The clerk of the district court will give a receipt to the winning bidder.
  3. An order confirming the sale will be generated, usually by the plaintiff's attorney and signed by a judge. The orders may contain a redemption period that is generally 90 days in length (although longer and shorter periods of time may be specified by the court). Redemption rights can also be extinguished altogether upon order of the court.
  4. Following the receipt of the order confirming the sale, the sheriff's office will sign a Certificate of Purchase, which states the name, the length of the redemption period (if any), and the amount bid by the winning bidder. These documents will be sent to the plaintiff's attorney unless the winning bidder is a third party, in which case the Certificate of Purchase will be given directly to them.
  5. At the end of the redemption period, the attorney of record will send the deed to the Reno County Sheriff's Office or the individual.
  6. Following the receipt of the original copy of the Certificate of Purchase by the sheriff's office, a Sheriff's Deed will be signed and given / mailed to the winning bidder.
