Which event triggers inclusion of all subsequent municipal liens in the redemption amount?

• A. 10 Days After Issuance Of Certificate
• B. 30 Days After Issuance Of Certificate
• C. 60 Days After Issuance Of Certificate
• D. 90 Days After Issuance Of Certificate

Answer: (A)

In this area the key idea is how redemption figures are set when a tax certificate is issued. Once the certificate is issued, there’s a brief window—ten days—during which any municipal liens that arise or come due after that issuance date are added into the redemption amount. This ensures the person redeeming must cover those post-issuance charges if they materialize within that window, preventing them from escaping those liens.

So, if a lien for a utility bill or local assessment pops up within ten days after the certificate is issued, it is included in what you must pay to redeem. If it shows up after that ten-day period, it isn’t folded into the redemption amount. That’s why the event that triggers inclusion is the ten-day period following issuance of the certificate. For example, a lien recorded or charged within that window would be included in the redemption amount, while one that comes later would not.
