Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Lee county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Lee county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.
