CORPORATION SURVEYOR, THE ORDER OF PUBLICATION SHALL CONTAIN A
STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
UNIMPROVED PROPERTY, AS PREPARED BY THE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION SURVEYOR IS ON FILE AT THE COLLECTOR'S OFFICE AND MAY
BE EXAMINED BY ANY INTERESTED PERSON. IN GARRETT COUNTY, IN LIEU
OF THE ABOVE PROVISION, THE ORDER OF PUBLICATION SHALL CONTAIN A
COPY OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY AS REQUIRED BY §
14-813(F) OF THIS SUBTITLE. THE ORDER OF PUBLICATION SHALL WARN
ANY PERSON THAT HAS OR CLAIMS TO HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY
TO ANSWER THE COMPLAINT OR TO REDEEM THE PROPERTY ON OR BEFORE
THE DATE NAMED IN THE COMPLAINT AND IN CASE OF FAILURE TO APPEAR,
ANSWER, OR REDEEM THE PROPERTY A JUDGMENT WILL BE ENTERED THAT
FORECLOSES ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION IN THE PROPERTY. THE DATE
NAMED MAY NOT BE LESS THAN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FILING OF THE
COMPLAINT. ANY SINGLE HOLDER OF CERTIFICATES OF SALE RELATING TO
SEVERAL PROPERTIES IN THE SAME COUNTY MAY INCLUDE AND JOIN IN 1
ORDER OF PUBLICATION ANY NUMBER OF THE CERTIFICATES. WHEN THE
ORDER OF PUBLICATION IS ISSUED AND PUBLISHED, ANY PERSON THAT HAS
ANY RIGHT, TITLE, INTEREST, CLAIM, LIEN OR EQUITY OF REDEMPTION
IN THE PROPERTY IS BOUND BY THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT THAT MAY BE
PASSED IN THE CASE AS IF THE PERSON WERE PERSONALLY SERVED WITH
PROCESS. THE ORDER OF PUBLICATION SHALL BE IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE
FOLLOWING FORM:
