Selectboard notes new-law change to foreclosure timing; citizen proposes 'Cushing Day'
Summary
The board discussed that, under a newly passed law, property owners may have 90 days from contact to pay overdue taxes before foreclosure; a resident proposed organizing a 'Cushing Day' and the chair will consult other towns on process.
At the July 8 meeting the Cushing Selectboard discussed a recently passed law that, as described in the meeting record, gives property owners 90 days from the date they contact the town to pay the full amount of delinquent taxes; interest continues to accrue. No motion or vote was recorded on the foreclosure procedure.
Meeting materials do not identify the statute by name or jurisdiction; the town record summarizes the change as a "new law that passed." The board did not set implementation steps or timelines during the meeting and no formal action was taken.
During public comment Jesse Flanders asked about organizing a "Cushing Day." Chair Craig Currie said he would reach out to other towns to learn whether forming a committee, a petition, or a town vote is required, and attendees exchanged ideas for the event.
