what he paid at the sale, plus 15
per cent interest on the amount
of the lien, plus all taxes paid.
There is no mention made of ad
ding improvements, he pointed
out, and advises buyers to erect
nothing he cannot move off, until
he receives the deed at the end
of the two year period.
Another question concerns the
status of other liens on the pro
perty, Wakeland reported. A lien
is not a lien until it is recorded
he said, so anyone can check at
the U. S. Commissioner’s office.
However, he added, should a lien
be overlooked, the holder of the
lien must either make a settle
ment with the buyer, or foreclose
it by redeeming the property.
Thus, the buyer at a tax sale is
protected, Wakeland stated.
It is the understanding of the
assessor that after the two year
redeption period no old liens are
valid.
The tax sales are to be held
in the basement of the city hall,
with the City of Palmer sale
scheduled for October 22 at 10
a.m. and the Palmer Independ
ent School District sale on Octo
. ber 23 at the same hour.
