Vanessa,

Regarding your request for "Timeline: January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2022 1. A list of street addresses of residential properties that sold in the last 2 tax sales" - there is no exact record responsive to your request. However, I have attached the existing record, the Published Tax Sale List. Some on this list have paid their delinquencies prior to the sale. The last sale was 12/8/2022 and the next is not yet determined.

Dear Deborah Zupan,

I really appreciate your help. Does Metuchen keep records of the properties with open tax liens?

Yours sincerely,

Vanessa
