Selectmen approve execution of real estate tax liens for unpaid 2025 taxes
Summary
The board approved the tax collector's execution of real estate tax liens for unpaid 2025 taxes, noting the dollar amount executed was about $45,000 less than the prior year and that notices and mortgage company notifications were completed per the statutory timeline.
The Alton Board of Selectmen voted on June 23 to approve the tax collector's execution of real estate tax liens for unpaid 2025 property taxes.
The Tax Collector told the board that the execution had been completed on June 10 and that the total executed this year was about $45,000 less than the prior year's execution amount. She described the notice process: taxpayers receive a courtesy notice early in the year, a delinquent notice, and a certified "impending lien" notice mailed at least 30 days before the execution; mortgage companies are notified within 60 days and a search for mortgagees is underway.
A member moved to accept the tax collector's execution for 2026; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board did not discuss individual accounts or identify properties on the public record during the motion.
