How long do I have to pay off sold taxes? Can the final deadline be extended?
That depends:
- For residential properties of one to six units, the final date to redeem is a minimum of two and a half years from the date of the original tax sale.
- For other properties, it is a minimum of two years from the date of the original tax sale.
- For all properties, the tax buyer has the option of extending the redemption period up to a maximum of three years. Once extended, the tax buyer cannot reduce it.
