Alexandria Township tax lien sale, New Jersey

Verified

Alexandria announces its sale in its own notice, and its minutes then confirm the sale ran. The township Tax Sale Notice states that Kris Boxwell, Collector of Taxes, would sell tax liens through an online auction on Friday, December 12th, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. The Township Committee minutes of January 22, 2026 then recite that the Tax Collector collected delinquent water charges through a tax sale that was held on December 12, 2025, for a property physically addressed in Milford; the sale is this township's, and the Milford address is the parcel's postal address, not a different seller. No Hunterdon County page exists in this set. Its 2020 census population is 4,809, corroborated by Census-derived renderings; no Census QuickFacts page exists for a population below 5,000.

Selling office: Township of Alexandria Tax Collector (Kristine Boxwell), Alexandria

Next sale: Friday, December 12, 2025, 8:30 a.m. online (most recent dated sale published). The township notice gives that Friday and its online hour, and its January 2026 minutes confirm the sale was held that day.

Read the Alexandria notice for this township, because the township papers its online auction morning in its own notice and its held confirmation in its own minutes.

Dates and deadlines

The dated saleFriday, December 12, 2025 at 8:30 a.m., online auction, per the township Tax Sale Notice signed by Kris Boxwell, Collector of Taxes, which offers liens for the years 2024 and prior, with interest calculated to December 12th, 2025, penalties, utility charges and the cost of sale, sold in fee to the persons who bid the amount subject to redemption at the lowest rate of interest, not exceeding 18 percent per annum, and names the township's online sale site in the notice.
The held confirmationThe Township Committee minutes of January 22, 2026 recite that the Tax Collector has collected delinquent water bill charges through a tax sale in the amount of $1,804.32 for property known as Block 17.02, Lot 1, 502 Milford Frenchtown Road, Milford, that was held on December 12, 2025, and direct a refund of that amount to Milford Borough, which handles the water for that property. The November 13, 2025 minutes also state the online tax sale is slated for Friday, December 12, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.
The notice wording, flaggedThe township notice sells liens for the years 2024 and prior and then states a phrase excluding the liens for the year 2024, while its own list is headed as 2024 real estate taxes. The wording conflict is the township's own, is recorded here rather than reconciled, and does not affect the date.
Certificate recitals, flaggedTownship resolutions recite a certificate sold on a December day in 2024 and a certificate sold on an August day in 2022, with their premiums. Those recitals corroborate the lien mechanism and its premiums only; a certificate date is never a sale date, and neither day prints as a sale date here.
The authorisationsThe township reorganization minutes of January 2, 2025 carry a resolution authorising the Tax Collector to conduct an electronic tax sale under N.J.S.A. 54:5-19.1, and a companion resolution establishing tax sale mailing fees. Authorisations are printed as authorisations; no date is taken from them.
Next saleNot published as a specific date beyond the December 2025 sale above.
Sale trackNot published as a label. The township notice describes its standard online sale of tax liens.
RegistrationThe township notice names its online sale site, where bidding instructions are published; no registration deadline was published in the sources read.
DepositNot published in the sources read.
Bidding and paymentSale in fee at the lowest rate of interest bid, not exceeding 18 percent per annum, per the township notice. Full payment terms beyond the notice are not published in the sources read.
RedemptionThrough the Tax Collector until a Superior Court judgment bars the right. The money side, interest at the bid rate, subsequent payments and the tiered penalty, is set out in the terms table below, on the state frame.
Struck off certificatesNothing published in the sources read. Under the state frame a lien with no purchaser is struck off to the municipality at 18 percent and may later be assigned under 54:5-113 or sold at public sale under 54:5-114.1 and 54:5-114.2.

Research Alexandria Township parcels before you bid

A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across Alexandria Township, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How New Jersey tax sales work

  • Nobody at the county sells anything. Under NJSA 54:5-19 the tax collector of each municipality sells. Counties in New Jersey assess nothing for this process and run no sale; every date, list, platform and deposit rule on these pages belongs to a town, not to the county named at the top.
  • What is sold is a certificate, a lien, not the property. The Division of Local Government Services states it plainly: at the tax sale, title to the delinquent property itself is not sold; what is sold is a tax sale certificate. The owner keeps the property and is not evicted.
  • Two sale tracks run on the statute's calendar. A standard sale is held in the fiscal year following the year of delinquency. An accelerated sale reaches charges in arrears on the 11th day of the eleventh month of the fiscal year, conducted no earlier than the last month of that year, which is why December accelerated sales exist. A municipality may run both.
  • Bidding is the rate down from eighteen percent, then premium. Under 54:5-32 the lien is struck off to whoever takes the lowest rate of interest, never above 18 percent. When a bidder offers less than 1 percent or no interest, premium bidding takes over: the winner pays the amount due plus the highest premium. The premium goes to the municipality, earns no interest, is returned if the owner redeems, and escheats to the municipality if the certificate is neither redeemed nor foreclosed within five years.
  • Redemption runs through the collector until a court bars it. The owner, heirs, a prior certificate holder, a mortgagee or an occupant may redeem at any time until the right is barred by a Superior Court judgment (54:5-54, 54:5-86), paying the sale amount with interest at the bid rate, the holder's subsequent lien payments and expenses, and the tiered penalty in 54:5-61: 2 percent over 200 dollars, 4 percent over 5,000, 6 percent over 10,000.
  • Foreclosure has two clocks, and assignment moves you to the faster one. A private holder may file in Superior Court after two years from the sale; a municipality, or its assignee or transferee, may file after six months (54:5-86), and a municipality may proceed in rem where six months have run and 21 months of general land taxes remain unpaid (54:5-104.32, 54:5-104.34). Since July 10, 2024, P.L.2024, c.39 has revised the process so an owner can protect remaining equity, so foreclosure is no longer the automatic equity transfer older guides describe.
  • Unsold liens are struck off to the municipality at eighteen percent. The municipality may later sell those certificates by private assignment under 54:5-113, for not less than the liens by governing body resolution, or at public sale under 54:5-114.1 and 54:5-114.2, the second permitting sales below the amount due. That assignment market is New Jersey's leftover channel, and it is municipal, never county run.

How buying works in Alexandria Township

Alexandria preparation starts with the township's online sale site named in its notice. The sale is electronic, the list is published there, and the January minutes show even a neighbouring borough's water charge being collected through this township's sale, so the list deserves a parcel by parcel read before the next December morning.

  • The rate is a giveaway on any lien worth having. On contested certificates the interest rate is bid to zero in the first minutes and the real bidding is the premium, which earns nothing and sits with the municipality for up to five years. The disciplined bid is set by the property and the foreclosure timeline, never by the rate.
  • The Milford parcel is still an Alexandria sale. The held confirmation concerns a water charge on a property addressed in Milford Borough; the collector who sold it, the notice that offered it and the minutes that recite it are all Alexandria Township's.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

Deposit, Alexandria TownshipNot published in the sources read. The township's online sale site terms are the document to read for a deposit before the next sale.
Payment, Alexandria TownshipNot published in the township sources read beyond the notice and platform terms. The township tax office and its sale platform govern payment for the Alexandria sale.
What is soldA tax sale certificate: a lien on the property for the taxes and municipal charges sold, recorded against the property. The property itself is not sold, the owner is not evicted, and the certificate holder's road to the property runs through redemption failing and a Superior Court foreclosure.
The interest ceiling18 percent per year, the maximum in 54:5-32. Bidding opens at 18 percent and the rate is bid down. The rate the winner takes is the rate the owner pays on redemption, and on contested liens in the publishing towns the rate is routinely bid to zero, which is where the premium takes over.
The premiumWhen a bidder offers less than 1 percent or no interest, the lien is struck off to whoever pays the amount due plus the highest premium. The premium is paid to the municipality and held by it: it earns the buyer no interest, it is returned if the owner redeems, and it escheats to the municipality if the certificate is neither redeemed nor foreclosed within five years. Model every premium dollar at zero percent, because that is what it earns.
Redemption moneyThe sum paid at the sale with interest from the sale date at the rate bid; after the certificate issues, plus the holder's expenses and subsequent municipal liens paid under 54:5-59 and 54:5-60; plus the tiered penalty in 54:5-61, 2 percent where the certificate exceeds 200 dollars, 4 percent above 5,000 dollars and 6 percent above 10,000 dollars. A municipality may separately fix a year end penalty up to 6 percent on delinquencies over 10,000 dollars under 54:4-67.
How long redemption really lastsUntil a Superior Court judgment bars it. There is no self expiring redemption date: the operative clocks are the foreclosure filing clocks, two years from the sale for a private holder, six months for a municipality or its assignee, plus the life of the court case. An owner facing a private holder has at least two years; an owner facing a municipal assignee may have far less.
The deed pathForeclosure of the right of redemption in Superior Court, Chancery Division, or a municipal in rem action under 54:5-104.32 where its conditions are met. Since P.L.2024, c.39 (July 10, 2024) the process protects the owner's remaining equity, so the pre-2024 outcome, foreclosure simply transferring all equity to the holder, is not current law and no 2026 page should describe it as such.

The leftover channel: struck off certificates and municipal assignment

For Alexandria Township the township sources behind this page publish nothing about struck off certificates or assignment sales beyond the notice and minutes above. Under the state frame a township lien with no purchaser is struck off to the township at 18 percent and may later be sold by private assignment under 54:5-113, for not less than the liens by governing body resolution, or at public sale under 54:5-114.1 and 54:5-114.2, the second permitting sales below the amount due. The assignee of a municipal certificate inherits the municipality's six month foreclosure clock under 54:5-86, measured from the original sale date.

Before you bid

  • Start with the town, because there is no county list. Every fact that matters, the date, the list, the platform, the deposit, lives with one municipal tax collector. The county page tells you which towns publish and what they published; the towns that publish nothing are a telephone call, and no website, this one included, can substitute for it.
  • Redeem and pay only through the collector. Redemption money goes to the tax collector for the holder's use, and the collector's figure is the redemption figure. Never pay a certificate holder directly on their own number, and record your certificate with the county clerk within 90 days of the sale to protect the lien.
  • Know which clock your seller gives you. A certificate bought at the sale carries a two year wait before foreclosure; the same certificate bought by assignment from the municipality can be foreclosed on the six month municipal clock from the original sale date. The channel you buy through is a term of the deal, priced like one.
  • Set the maximum before the sale opens. The free Max-Bid Calculator below works backwards from your exit value to the highest bid you can pay, with the costs shown. In premium territory the maximum is a property decision, not a yield decision.
