Redemption (state)
Owner may redeem any time until foreclosure; investor must generally wait 2 years from the certificate date before starting foreclosure (municipal holders can move sooner)

Statutory terms are inherited from New Jersey. Interest bid down from a statutory ceiling of 18% per annum; PLUS a one-time redemption penalty of 2% (certificates $200-$5,000), 4% ($5,001-$10,000), or 6% (over $10,000) assessed only on redemption Bidding drives the interest rate down from 18%; when it reaches 0%, bidders switch to offering a cash premium over the taxes owed (premium earns no interest and is refunded without interest on redemption).
