Tax Lien Process

• Every June, reminder letters are sent to property owners with an outstanding balance.

• Mid-July 30 day notices are mailed-any outstanding balance must be paid with cash, check or credit card

• At the end of the 30-days Tax Liens are filed at the Registry of Deeds.

• The tax lien will mature 18 months later resulting in automatic foreclosure by State Law.

• Tax Liens are discharged within 60 days after full payment is received.

• Property status is determined as of April 1 (commitment typically in early August)

• If you own property on April 1, you are responsible for that year’s taxes, even if you sell the property after that date

• Tax liens will be filed for the owner at the time the taxes were first assessed (the name listed on the original commitment)
