The remaining balance owing must be paid by 3:00 p.m. the same day. Failure to pay the balance will result in the property being offered for sale again at 10:00 a.m. on the following day.
Once a property is sold at Tax Sale the owner of the property, or an owner of a registered charge against the property or another person on their behalf has a period of one year from the date of the tax sale to redeem the property.
During the period allowed for redemption, a tax sale property must continue to be assessed and taxed in the owner’s name.
The amount to redeem a tax sale property is the sum of the upset price, plus all costs of which the collector has had notice that have been incurred by the purchaser in maintenance of the tax sale property and in prevention of waste, plus taxes advanced by the purchaser, plus prescribed interest to the date of redemption.
During the period of redemption, the owner of the property retains the right to possession of the tax sale property.
