317.11 Tax Sale SR 94-04, 04/94 (AAM-A)

If a tax sale is imminent and DHHS has a lien on the property, the city or town must notify DHHS 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, since this is the minimum necessary to DHHS’s lien. If the city or town insists that all delinquent taxes be paid, notify the Assistant Commissioner’s Office.
