(1) When the governing body of a county enters an order under ORS 275.110 directing the sheriff to sell real property acquired in any manner by the county, if all or a part of the land remains unsold after the time set for the sale in the sheriff’s published notice or after adjournment of a sheriff’s sale, the governing body of the county may sell the lands as provided in subsection (2) of this section.
