How unpaid Connecticut property tax grows
Connecticut towns add interest of 1.5% a month, 18% a year, to delinquent property tax. The tax collector can record a lien on the land records, and towns can collect through a tax sale or by assigning the lien to an investor.
How a CT MAX purchase clears it
- Taxes, interest, and fees are paid out of the sale at closing.
- Closing can be scheduled ahead of a tax sale date when title allows.
- Other recorded liens and judgments are settled at the same table.
The town tax collector can give you the current balance, or the closing attorney will request it.
