10-22-18. Notice of sale of property--Contents--Posting and mailing. The sheriff shall forthwith fix a time and place for sale of the property seized, which time must be not less than ten nor more than thirty days after the seizure, and which place may be at any public place within the county or where the property is located in case of bulky material or property incapable of being conveniently moved. Notice of the sale shall be given by posting the same in three public places in the county, at least ten days before the date of the sale. The notice shall state the time and place of the sale; the name of the person against whom the distress warrant was issued; a description of the property; and the amount of the tax claim, and identify the particular taxes for which the sale is to be made; it shall also refer to the warrant under which the sale is to be held. Copies of the notice shall also be mailed to all encumbrancers of record at their addresses as shown by the encumbrances of record and if no address appears in such encumbrances, mailing of notice shall not be required. The failure so to mail notice shall not invalidate the sale but the encumbrancer shall have recourse against the sheriff for any damage he may show.
