Tax collector seeks authority to clear titles and auction tax-deeded properties
Tax collector Kevin reported the town owns several tax-deeded parcels that he believes have been overlooked and may have title issues that prevent sale. He identified multiple parcels including a Kempton Road lot that the town tried to market but could not sell because of a title issue. Kevin said he spoke with a New Hampshire legal firm that specializes in tax-deed clearances and auctions; the firm advised that it could research and, if appropriate, clear title issues and sell the properties via auction.

Kevin asked the board's permission to assemble a list of town-owned parcels, research the cost of legal title clearing and auction services and return with recommendations. Board members asked Kevin to include an estimate of local attorney costs as a comparison and to flag any parcels that could serve municipal needs (for example, cemetery expansion) before authorizing disposal.

The board did not authorize a contract or sale during the meeting; members requested cost estimates and a parcel inventory at a future session.
