Statutory basis
36 M.R.S. 942/943/943-C
The municipality's tax lien automatically forecloses at 18 months and the town owns the property outright -- no investor liens or interest. The town later sells the tax-acquired property (broker/sealed bid/auction), returning surplus equity to the former owner.
