Tax Sale Overview:


If Oxford county, Maine is unable to collect real estate property taxes they are also unable to provide important government services like police protection, public schooling and medical services.

Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for Oxford county, Maine.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of Oxford county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Oxford county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Oxford county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.

To solve this problem Oxford county, Maine allows investors to pay off these taxes. In exchange the investor receives the Oxford county, Maine lien for taxes. A tax lien is simply a claim for delinquent taxes.

Why would investors do this?

Well, depending on Maine laws and competition, savvy Oxford county tax sale investors can realize high-yielding returns with Maine tax lien certificates and/or purchase real estate for a fraction of its true market value with Maine tax deeds.
