Dear Jessalyn Walters,
Quick follow up question. From the list you sent over is your municipality selling or assigning liens at the moment.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Brown
Good afternoon,
The Township is not selling or assigning at this time. The most recent tax sale occurred in April of this year. The next tax sale has not yet been scheduled.
Sincerely,

Please see the updated list, the Tax Collector ran a report for all open liens, not just municipal liens. Regardless, they are still not selling or being assigned at this time.
