If real or personal property is sold at public sale under any order or decree of any
court in this state then, upon the request of a creditor or mortgage holder, the court
under whose jurisdiction the sale is to be made may secure the services of an
auctioneer licensed in this state to conduct the public sale, fix the auctioneer's fee,
and order the fee to be paid out of the proceeds of the sale. The fee:
(a) Shall not exceed six percent (6%) of the sale price on sales of real property;
(b) Shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the sale price on sales of personal
property; and
(c) Shall not include the fees and expenses provided for by rule of the Supreme
Court under KRS 31A.010(4) that are incurred by the master commissioner
for the sale.
Upon the request of the creditor or mortgage holder, when property is ordered to be
sold by a court the master commissioner, as described in KRS Chapter 31A, shall
employ a licensed auctioneer to handle the sale upon terms and conditions
acceptable to the creditor or mortgage holder.
If real property is sold at a public sale conducted by a licensed auctioneer, then the
sale shall be conducted on the site of real property to be sold.
If the master commissioner is also a licensed auctioneer, then the master
commissioner shall not receive any extra fee for acting as an auctioneer, but shall
receive fees in his or her capacity as master commissioner or special commissioner
under KRS 31A.010(4).
Nothing contained in this section shall waive any provision of KRS 426.160,
426.200, or 426.560.
