Resolve, Authorizing The State Tax Assessor To Convey The Interest Of The State In Certain Real Estate In The Unorganized Territory

This bill authorizes Maine's State Tax Assessor to sell specific parcels of real estate in Aroostook County's Unorganized Territory where property taxes remain unpaid. It directs the sale of two parcels (one owned by Charles Durost and another by Jay McLaughlin) to recover $958.65 and $1,586.26 in accumulated taxes, interest, and costs. The process requires 90 days' notice to former owners, listing with a licensed broker, and selling to the highest bidder if no owner buys back within 90 days. If the minimum sale price isn't met, the property may be sold for that amount by August 1, 2026, with strict rules prohibiting state employees and their family members from purchasing. The sale aims to recover unpaid taxes while following Maine's statutory procedures for tax lien properties.
