State guide

How government auctions work in Massachusetts

Hybrid (varies by county)

Massachusetts municipalities enforce delinquent taxes through tax takings, which give the town a redeemable tax title; some towns sell those tax titles to investors, while most hold them and later auction the property after Land Court foreclosure.

Redemption period
The owner can redeem until the Land Court enters a foreclosure judgment, which the town or tax title holder may seek after six months; buyers of foreclosed property take free of redemption.
Interest or penalty
Tax titles accrue interest at a commonly cited 16% per year, which is the return for an investor who buys a tax title from a municipality.

Who sells in Massachusetts

  • Municipal auctions of tax-foreclosed property (for example Worcester)
  • Municipal tax title assignments and sales
  • Massachusetts Operational Services Division state surplus
  • MassDOT surplus land and right-of-way
  • Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions and the U.S. Marshals

How it works for a first-time buyer

Most Massachusetts buyers encounter property after the town has completed Land Court foreclosure, when the treasurer or a hired auctioneer offers it at a public auction with a deposit due at the sale. Towns post lists of tax-foreclosed parcels on their websites, and some accept requests to schedule a specific parcel for auction. A 2024 law changed how surplus proceeds are handled after foreclosure, so expect procedural updates. Verify zoning and wetland constraints, since many parcels are unbuildable remnants.

General information, not legal advice — the official sale notice controls. Last reviewed September 2026.

Massachusetts auction FAQ

Is Massachusetts a tax lien or tax deed state?

Massachusetts is a hybrid. Towns hold a redeemable tax title that they may sell to investors, but most foreclose in Land Court and then auction the property outright.

How long is the redemption period in Massachusetts?

There is no fixed period; the owner may redeem until the Land Court forecloses, which cannot begin sooner than six months after the taking.

Where does Massachusetts sell state surplus vehicles?

The Operational Services Division manages state surplus property and posts vehicles and equipment for public sale, often through online auction listings.
