The department shall mail or personally deliver a copy of the inventory to the owner of the property, and shall specify the time and place when the property is to be sold. Notice specifying the property to be sold and the time and place of sale shall be posted in at least two public places in the recording district of the judicial district where the seizure is made. The time of sale may not be less than 20 nor more than 30 days from the date of posting the notice. The department may adjourn the sale from time to time but adjournment may not exceed 90 days in all. The department or its authorized representative shall conduct the sale. The property may be sold by parcel or lot at a public auction. The department may set a minimum price to include the expenses of making the levy and advertising the sale, and if the amount bid for the property at the sale is not equal to the minimum price fixed by the department, the department or its representative may declare the property purchased by the department for the minimum price. The department shall credit the delinquent account with the amount received at the sale for the property after defraying the costs of distraint, seizure, and sale.
