In any action seeking the foreclosure of a lien against any tract or parcel of land assessed by a county for the construction of any project after either or both assignable certificates or bonds have been issued, if there is no other purchaser for the tract or parcel of land having a delinquent assessment, the county as trustee of the fund from which the assignable certificates or bonds are to be paid, may:

A. purchase the tract or parcel of land sold at the foreclosure sale; and

B. bid, in lieu of cash, the full amount of the assessment, interest, penalties, attorneys' fees and costs found by the court to be due and payable under the ordinance creating the lien and any cost taxed by the court in the foreclosure proceedings against the property ordered sold.
