In some instances the properties will be sold for delinquent Downtown Improvement District or Thayer Street District taxes and/or for outstanding Environmental Lien or Demolition Lien charges.

Each of the following described parcels will be sold for the payment of the taxes assessed December 31, 2009, and/or as to certain of said parcels for the taxes assessed in prior years (or for delinquent Downtown Improvement District, Thayer Street District and/or Environmental Lien and/or Demolition Lien charges).

For a more particular description of said estates, reference is made to the Assessor's Plats as the same appeared December 31, 2009, in the office of the City Assessor or Assessors of said City.

Be advised that if said taxes and/or fees are not paid prior to sale, your interest as an owner, mortgagee, or any other party having a significant interest in said real estate per RIGL 44-9-10 and/or 44-9-11 may be at risk.

Per the laws of the State of Rhode Island, Sections 44-9-1 et seq., any person having an interest in land sold for the nonpayment of taxes and/or entitled to notice pursuant to R.I. Gen Laws Sec 44-9-10 and 44-9-11 may, within one (1) year after the sale (and thereafter, prior to the filing of a petition to foreclose the right of redemption), exercise the right of redemption in accordance with RIGL 44-9-19 or 44-9-21, which statutes contain provisions requiring payment of the sum for which the real estate was purchased or assigned, plus any intervening taxes paid, plus costs, interest and penalties. If, after said one (1) year period, a petition is filed to foreclose the right of redemption under RIGL 44-9-25, the court may also require the payment of costs of the proceeding and counsel fees and impose such other terms as the court finds just and the circumstances require, per RIGL 44-9-29. Pursuant to the provisions of RIGL 44-9-25 no petition for foreclosure of redemption shall be filed or entertained by any court with respect to any property or title acquired by the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Corporation pursuant to Sec 44-9-8.3 of the general laws until after five (5) years from the sale of said property or title for taxes.

For further information, your attention is directed to the content of the above referenced statutes.
