Tax Sale Redemption
Redeeming your property after a tax sale can be a complex and time-sensitive process. Our firm provides comprehensive guidance to help clients navigate the redemption process and reclaim their properties.
Redemption Period
After a tax sale, the property owner typically has a redemption period of one year to redeem the property. During this period, the owner must pay the winning bid amount, interest, penalties, and any other fees associated with the sale. The redemption period may vary depending on state laws and the type of tax sale.
Redemption Process
The redemption process generally involves the following steps:
– Contacting the Taxing Authority: Determine the taxing authority responsible for the sale and obtain the redemption amount.
– Gathering Funds: Secure the necessary funds to cover the redemption amount.
– Submitting Redemption Notice: File a redemption notice with the taxing authority, indicating your intent to redeem the property.
– Payment: Pay the redemption amount in full, including all applicable fees and interest.
– Recording the Redemption: Once the redemption is complete, record the redemption certificate with the county recorder’s office to restore the property’s title to your name.
