“[T]he holder of a tax sale certificate has an inchoate interest [in the property] consisting of three significant rights: [1] the right to receive the sum paid for the certificate with interest at the redemption rate for which the property was sold; [2] the right to redeem from any other holder a subsequently issued tax sale certificate; and ... [3] the right to acquire title by foreclosing after the expiration of two years from the date of sale.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The fact is that buyers of tax liens, frequently bargain hunters, are expected to buy a pig in a poke. The law does not provide them with warranties or guarantees or special protection of any kind. Caveat emptor is the rule. It cannot be otherwise if the public, the intended beneficiary of our tax sale system, is to be protected.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“legislative objective [of the Tax Sale Law]... is to enable local governments to realize taxes by returning property to the paying tax rolls without first expending money to foreclose or bar the equity of redemption.”
