The Chepachet Fire District gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the title of the real estate sold, as to the adequacy of the notice given of such sale, or as to the validity of the sale. The property is sold at the buyer’s risk. In the event of an invalid sale, the buyer will be entitled to reimbursement for the amount paid at the tax sale plus statutory interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month from the date of payment until the date of refund, notwithstanding the provisions of section 45-15-5. The taxing authority may recover any interest paid to a tax sale purchaser under this section from the delinquent assessed owner of the property as if the tax sale of the property had not been held.
If you are the owner of the property to be sold, or if you have an ownership interest in the property to be sold, you will have one year to redeem the property by paying the taxes that were due, plus a ten percent penalty on the tax sale amount, plus one percent interest per month on the tax sale amount from the seventh month onward. After one year, you may exercise your right to redeem the property through the tax sale purchaser or his attorney. If a petition to foreclose your right of redemption has been filed in Superior Court, you may redeem the property through the Court if you do so before a final decree is entered.
The parcels to be sold at public auction were published in this newspaper on October 2, 2025. More information about each parcel may be obtained at the Office of the Tax Assessor, Town of Glocester, 1145 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI.
