Select Board gives owners 30 days to redeem tax-acquired properties, approves two quit-claim deeds
Summary
The South Thomaston Select Board authorized 30-day redemption notices for several tax-acquired parcels and approved quit-claim deeds for properties to Bonnie Martin and Terry Leech after payment of outstanding taxes; the board noted foreclosures and sale steps would follow if owners do not redeem.
The South Thomaston Select Board authorized staff to send 30-day notices to owners of several tax-acquired properties, giving them an opportunity to pay outstanding taxes and associated fees to reclaim their homes. Board members said the notices will be sent by first-class and regular mail, and warned that foreclosure and sale processes would follow if owners do not redeem.
The board also approved municipal quit-claim deeds for two properties to Bonnie Martin and Terry Leech after those owners paid past-due taxes, the select board record shows. The board clarified that the quit-claim deeds do not affect tax years 2024 and 2025; those tax obligations will remain and become due in the normal cycle.
In discussion the board reviewed several named properties and owners (for example, Maurice [Murice] Warrior on Dublin Road and John Thompson on Spruce Head Road) and asked staff to continue outreach and consider listing properties with a real-estate agent if owners do not reclaim them within the notice period.
