On Tuesday night the city council briefly discussed tax title sale auctions in response to a motion by Councilor Kim Scott requesting an update. Here is what City Solicitor Christine O’Connor wrote in reply: In 2011, the City’s Tax Title Division joined the Law Department. That year, the City held its first municipal lien auction pursuant to MGL c.60, §52. Pursuant to the process, properties in tax title are bundled and sold to the highest bidder. Prior to the auction, owners of these properties receive two separate notices of the upcoming auction. Additionally, a notice of the auction is published in The Sun. Property owners receiving an elderly, widow, hardship, or veterans exemption, are not included in the auction.
