SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY TAX CLAIM BUREAU SALE OF LAND
Upset Sale-Monday
September 17, 2007 10AM
2007 UPSET
SALE RESULTS |
| |
| Judicial Sales are held after the Upset Sale for properties not sold at September's Upset Sale. Judicial Sales are ordered by the court of common pleas of Susquehanna County and are also referred to as the "Free & Clear" sale
since filed tax and municipal liens are discharged as well as mortgages and other filed liens.
"Free & Clear" is a misnomer as there may be liens filed after the filed
discharges. Judicial Sales are generally held in October of the year following the Upset Sale for the same property. The Judicial Sale List is usually published one time in September before the sale. Liens are NOT discharged before the court ordered sale. A private sale will include liens. |

| Private Sales may be held any time after any property has been exposed to public sale and such property was not sold because no bid was made equal to the upset price. Notice of the proposed sale, stating the price and the property proposed to be sold, shall be given to each such taxing district and to the owner of the property. Notice shall also be given by publication at least two (2) times, with approximately ten (10) days intervening between each publication, in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation published in the county where the property is located. The notice of publication shall set forth the location of the property, the date and place of sale, the price and terms of sale, and the provision that the property will be sold free and clear of all tax claims and tax judgments. The corporate authorities of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property which is to be sold, the owner, an interested party, or a person interested in purchasing the property may, if not satisfied that the sale price approved by the bureau is sufficient, within forty-five (45) days after notice of proposed sale, petition the court of common pleas of the county to disapprove the sale. The court shall, in such case, after notice to each such taxing district, the owner, the bureau, the purchaser and any other person who has joined in the petition, hear all parties. After such hearing, the court may either confirm or disapprove the sale as appears just and proper. If the sale is disapproved, the court shall at the same time fix a price below which such property shall not be sold and order that, if no private sale can be arranged, the property be sold at public judicial sale under this act (Act 542 of 1947). If more than one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by court, the bureau shall sell the property to that party without the necessity of an auction. Deeds, when the price for the private sale of any said property has been finally approved or confirmed, shall be in the name of the bureau, as trustee grantor and shall be executed and duly acknowledged before the prothonotary. Such deed shall convey title to the purchaser free, clear and discharged of all tax claims and tax judgments, whether or not returned, filed or entered, as provided by this or any other act.
