Kansas
Kansas doesn't run a fixed-date lien auction — delinquent property goes through judicial foreclosure, with the county attorney suing in district court before a sheriff's sale opens the property to cash bidding. Eligibility itself is tiered by property type: three years delinquent for homestead property, two for commercial, just one for vacant or abandoned parcels. There's no fixed redemption window either — an owner can redeem any time up until 5 p.m. the day before the auction, which in practice can be a year or more after the case was filed. Every county runs its own calendar and its own process, so there's no statewide platform to check — you're tracking each county attorney's office separately.
