The Osage County Sheriff’s Office requested that Bid4Assets speak to the Board of Osage County Commissioners regarding the services they offer, which include real estate auctions and online personal property sales.

A spokesperson with the company said they help counties with tax foreclosure, online public auctions and much more.

He says a service such as this also relieves stress of the sheriff's office and that the county would never receive a bill from the company. District One Commissioner Randall Jones, along with the other two board members said it seemed like an intriguing option.

Generally, the bid process will be open for between two and three hours. A paper packet is also available for someone to fill out a maximum bid for those who don't want to participate in the online auction.
