317.11 Tax Sale (AAM) |
__________________________________________________________________
If a tax sale is imminent and DHHS has a lien on the property, DHHS may pay delinquent taxes on behalf of a recipient. The city or town must notify DHHS of the imminent sale so that DHHS can have the opportunity to pay the delinquent taxes and protect its lien.
Only the earliest year of delinquent taxes are paid by DHHS, since this is the minimum necessary to protect DHHS’s lien. If the city or town insists that all delinquent taxes be paid, notify the Administrator of the Estate Recoveries Unit.
