Massachusetts Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerMassachusetts tax sale timing: Set by each city/town treasurer/collector, year-round as needed — no statewide sale date What is sold: Redeemable tax deeds. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified Massachusetts sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from Massachusetts law.

Rate / penalty: 8% per year for tax titles taken or sold on or after Nov. 1, 2024 (M.G.L. c. 60, § 62, as amended by Ch. 140 of the Acts of 2024); 16% per year for titles taken or sold before Nov. 1, 2024

Redemption: Owner may redeem at any time before a foreclosure petition is filed; the holder generally may not file that petition until 12 months after the sale or taking for post-Nov. 1, 2024 titles (6 months for earlier titles) — M.G.L. c. 60, §§ 62, 65 — and may still redeem through Land Court until judgment bars redemption
