The provisions contained in this Section are adopted pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 60, Section 62A, which allows municipalities by ordinance to authorize payment agreements between the Treasurer and persons entitled to redeem parcels in tax title.
(CBC 1985 6-3.13(a); Ord. 2018 c. 10 § 1)
The provisions contained in Subsections 6-3.13(a) through 6-3.13(g) are to foster the collection of unpaid taxes and promote residential stability.
