How foreclosure and tax sales work in Massachusetts
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Massachusetts mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by the lender, usually with an auction held at the property.
Massachusetts is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the city or town treasurer (tax title) sells the property itself at auction.
