Understanding Tax Foreclosure vs. Mortgage Foreclosure
Tax foreclosure operates differently from mortgage foreclosure, although both involve accrued arrears. In a mortgage foreclosure, the property itself is sold, and the homeowner loses ownership. However, in tax foreclosure, it's the tax lien that's sold, giving the purchaser the right to request fee simple title to the property.
The Foreclosure Sale Process
The Collector follows a structured notification process, including sending notices to homeowners before the sale. Exceptions exist for certain properties based on value or homeowner status. The sale itself is a public auction, with bidding open to all interested parties. After the sale, the purchaser receives a Certificate of Sale (COS), which expires if no further action is taken.
Redeeming the Property
Homeowners have the right to redeem the property after a tax sale by paying all outstanding arrears. This redemption period is critical for homeowners seeking to retain ownership. However, if redemption doesn't occur within the specified timeframe, the purchaser can initiate a foreclosure action.
