A.
The Select Board is hereby empowered to sell at public auction all or any of the Town property acquired by virtue of sale for nonpayment of taxes, which sales have been confirmed by the Land Court or the Tax Commissioner, and it is authorized to give deeds therefor.
B.
The Select Board shall, not less than 21 days before such sale, file a notice thereof with the Town Clerk, who shall post a copy of the notice on the Town website and on a bulletin board in the Town Hall. The Select Board shall also have a copy of the notice published at least 21 days before such sale in a newspaper having a circulation in the Town. Such notice shall contain a description of the property to be sold sufficient to identify it; shall state the date, time and place appointed for the sale thereof; and the terms and conditions of such sale. Failure to send or to post a notice as herein provided, or any insufficiency in the notice sent or posted, shall not invalidate the title to any property sold hereunder, provided the deed is approved by the Select Board. At such sale or any adjournment thereof, if, in its opinion, no bid is made which approximates the fair value of the property, a sale need not take place. No bid is accepted until the deed drawn in accordance therewith has been approved by the Select Board and accepted by the successful bidder.
C.
The Select Board shall include, as a part of its report in the Annual Town Report, a listing, by parcel, of all property sold under this by-law, which listing shall include the date of sale, the name of the purchaser, a general description of the property and the sale price.
