Plain-English Summary
A partition sale is not final the moment the gavel falls. Section 25-2186 requires the referee to report the results to the court once the sale is complete. The report must describe the different parcels of land sold, identify who bought each one, and state the price bid for it.
Filing that report with the clerk creates the record the court needs to decide whether to approve the sale — the next step in the process, covered by later sections in this article. Without a report matching parcels to buyers and prices, the court has nothing concrete to confirm or reject.
