An act relating to the right of entry following a tax sale

This bill would allow individuals who purchase property at a tax sale to enter the property within one year of the sale to protect it from damage, illegal activity, or deterioration. The law requires the purchaser to provide at least 10 days written notice to any existing mortgage holder or lien holder before entering the property. Municipalities currently have the authority to enter properties under similar circumstances, but this legislation extends that right to private tax sale buyers. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2024, and apply to real estate transactions governed by Vermont's tax sale procedures.
