"The Municipality is precluded from issuing Tax Sale Certificates to any prospective purchaser who is or may in any way be connected to the prior owner/ operator of the site," the town's notice of the sale said.

If a municipality has delinquent property taxes and/or municipal charges, New Jersey law requires all 566 municipalities to hold at least one tax sale per year. Winning bidders must immediately pay outstanding taxes and interest to municipalities.

Buyers are then given a tax sale certificate, which they can use to foreclose on the property and obtain ownership after the lengthy process. Learn more about tax lien sales in New Jersey here.
