I guess they would get to collect interest until I pay it off or they get the property back plus the interest if I don't but still...Also, the Ada county auction listings seem to indicate payment due by end of business Thursday (so 4 business days after auction ends basically).And I found this document from Bannock county indicating they expect payment on the day of the auction. https://www.bannockcounty.us/wp-content/uploads/ta...I haven't been able to find much info on idaho statute 31-808(3) actually being used, so I guess for now I'll assume it's rule saying counties can do it if they want but none of them seem to be doing it.
