How New Jersey tax sales work
New Jersey is a tax lien state: at the sale, investors buy a lien (certificate) on the property rather than the property itself. The owner can pay off the lien with interest or penalty during the redemption period; if they don't, the certificate holder can eventually seek a deed.
How the auction is won: Lowest rate, then highest premium; each municipality runs its own sale (no county sale); payment before the sale ends. Maximum interest or penalty: 18%/yr bid down; below 1% bidders offer a premium instead. Plus a 2%, 4% or 6% redemption penalty by certificate size. Redemption period: Until a foreclosure judgment; a private holder may sue after 2 years (a municipality after 6 months).
Recent change (P.L.2024 c.39, July 10, 2024): Before final judgment the owner (or heirs) can demand a sheriff's sale or sheriff's Internet auction; the sheriff deposits any surplus with the Superior Court clerk. Without a demand the holder may foreclose without a sale and the owner has no claim to the equity.
