How foreclosure and tax sales work in Vermont
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Vermont uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by a court-ordered public sale (strict foreclosure is also used).
Vermont generally sells a deed to tax-delinquent property through the town tax collector, but the former owner can still redeem it for a set period after the sale.
