When taxes are past due and unpaid, the county treasurer may distrain sufficient goods
and chattels belonging to the person charged with such taxes, if such goods and chattels
are found within the county, to pay the taxes remaining due, any penalty and interest
thereon, and the costs that have accrued. Such treasurer shall immediately advertise in three public places in the township
where the property was taken the time and the place it will be sold. If the taxes, penalty, interest, and costs accrued on the property are not paid
before the day appointed for such sale, which shall be not less than ten days after
the taking of the property, the treasurer shall sell it at public vendue or so much
of the property as will pay such taxes, penalty, interest, and costs. For making distress and sale for the payment of taxes, the treasurer shall be allowed
the same fees as are allowed to constables for making levy and sale of property on
execution. Traveling fees shall be computed from the county seat to the place of making the
