Connecticut Tax Sale Questions
Are Connecticut tax sales run by counties?▾
No — Connecticut has no county tax sales. Delinquent real estate is sold municipality by municipality by the town tax collector, often through a designated tax-sale attorney. There is no single statewide auction date; sales happen on a rolling basis as each town accumulates delinquencies.
How long is the redemption period in Connecticut?▾
Six months from the date of the tax sale by default. It can drop to 60 days for abandoned property or under a municipal ordinance. The collector's deed stays unrecorded with the town clerk during that window.
What interest does a Connecticut buyer earn if the owner redeems?▾
18% per annum on the full purchase price, running from the date of sale, payable by the redeeming taxpayer, mortgagee, or lienholder. If no one redeems, the buyer keeps the property instead.
Do I get the property immediately after winning?▾
No. The deed is executed within two weeks but lodged unrecorded with the town clerk and does not vest until the six-month redemption period expires. Most parcels are redeemed, so plan for repayment plus interest rather than ownership.
