1 later decision quote this exact passage“Here, however, sections 140.250 and 140.405 expressly state that there is no period of redemption from a third tax sale. Section 140.250, which governs third tax sales, provides that “there shall be no period of redemption from such sales.” In its current version, section 140.405 expressly exempts from its application “persons purchasing property at a third offering for which there is no period of redemption[.]” ... Given the plain meaning of the language used, the statutes cannot reasonably be interpreted so as to provide lien holders with a right to post-sale notification and ninety-day right of redemption following a third tax sale.”
