Buckfield transfers three tax-acquired parcels back to former owners by quitclaim deed
Summary
The Select Board approved quitclaim deed transfers for three tax-acquired parcels—015-001-004, 005-004-010-001 and 002-003-005-000—returning them to former owners.
The Buckfield Select Board on July 1 approved returning three tax-acquired parcels to former owners by quitclaim deed.
The board approved transfer of parcel 015-001-004, parcel 005-004-010-001, and parcel 002-003-005-000 to their former owners by quitclaim deeds. Each transfer was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows recorded "aye" votes by Azalea and Sandra for these motions.
A board member commented that it is a positive outcome when former owners and the town can resolve property matters and continue to maintain the properties. The motions recorded were limited to approving the quitclaim transfers; no additional conditions or financial terms were discussed on the record.
Why it matters: Quitclaim transfers remove tax-acquired titles from town inventory and restore ownership responsibility and maintenance to private parties.
