in this resolve, in which case notice need not be published. 
2. A parcel may not be sold for less than the amount authorized in this resolve. If 
identical high bids are received, the bid postmarked with the earliest date is considered 
the highest bid. 
If bids in the minimum amount recommended in this resolve are not received after 
the notice, the State Tax Assessor may sell the property for not less than the minimum 
amount without again asking for bids if the property is sold on or before April 1, 2018. 
Employees of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of 
Revenue Services and spouses, siblings, parents and children of employees of the Bureau
