An act relating to the right of entry following a tax sale
This bill would allow individuals who buy property at a tax sale to enter the property during the one-year redemption period to prevent damage, illegal activity, or deterioration. It directly affects tax sale purchasers and municipalities by giving them legal authority to secure properties that are at risk. The law requires the purchaser to provide at least 10 days written notice to any mortgagee or lien holder before entering the property. If passed, these provisions would take effect on July 1, 2024, and would be added to Vermont's existing tax sale statutes.
