JUDICIAL SALE
Held in
the spring
These are properties
that have been up for regular upset sale
but remain unsold. These sales are
ordered by the Court and are often
referred to as the “Free & Clear” sale
since all tax and municipal liens are
discharged as well as mortgages and
other filed liens. These properties are
sold for a minimum price, set just to
cover costs of the sale.
