How Tax Sales Work in Massachusetts

Tax sales in Massachusetts are administered at the county level. When property taxes go unpaid, the county advertises the parcel for a public tax sale β€” as a tax deed auction, a tax lien certificate sale, or a sheriff sale, depending on local law. Winning bidders acquire either ownership or a lien that can earn interest or lead to ownership after a redemption period.

1
Taxes Go Unpaid

A property owner in Massachusetts falls behind on county property taxes, and interest and penalties accrue.

2
County Acts

The county schedules a tax deed auction or a tax lien certificate sale and observes the statutory notice period.

3
Public Sale Listed

The property or lien is advertised for public auction, usually at a minimum bid covering the arrears plus fees.

4
Investor Wins the Bid

The highest bidder receives a deed or a lien certificate, subject to any applicable redemption period.
