An Act relative to force sale of property by tax lien

This bill amends Massachusetts law to address the financial outcome for property owners after a tax lien force sale. Specifically, it requires that any money remaining from the sale proceeds, after paying off the owed taxes and fees, must be returned to the former owner. The change directly affects individuals whose properties have been sold by the town due to unpaid taxes. By mandating the return of excess funds, the legislation aims to ensure that owners do not lose money they were not legally required to forfeit.
