How a Connecticut tax sale works

When property taxes go unpaid long enough, the town tax collector can hold a public auction. Notice is published and sent to the owner and lienholders before the sale. After the sale, the owner usually has a six-month redemption period to pay what is owed, plus interest and costs, and keep the property.

Why selling first often beats redeeming

  • Back taxes accrue interest at 18% a year.
  • Redemption requires cash in a short window.
  • If the property is not redeemed, the equity can be lost.

Where CT MAX fits

If the tax sale has not happened yet, a CT MAX sale pays the back taxes at closing and sends the rest to you. If it already happened, talk to an attorney right away about the redemption period and whether a sale can still close in time.
