West Orange 2018 Tax Lien Sale; Dozens Of Local Homes At Risk

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The buyers and sellers of debt will cast their eyes to West Orange on Wednesday, Nov. 14, when municipal officials hold an online, public auction for unpaid 2017 delinquent taxes, sewer and other municipal charges.

Properties for which there are no purchasers will be struck off and sold to the Township of West Orange. At any time before the sale payment of the amount due on any property with all interest and cost will be accepted, with payment in the form of cash, money order or certified check only, officials stated.

A listing of all parcels and registration at risk in the municipal auction can be seen here. Learn more about the Nov. 14 sale here.

New Jersey law requires all 566 municipalities to hold at least one tax sale per year if the municipality has delinquent property taxes and/or municipal charges. Winning bidders must immediately pay municipalities the outstanding taxes and interest.

In exchange, buyers get a tax sale certificate which they can ultimately use to foreclose on the property and take ownership after a lengthy process. Learn more about tax lien sales in New Jersey here.
