Why Connecticut has no over-the-counter list
Connecticut has no over-the-counter sale of tax liens or tax-sale property. Parcels that draw no sufficient bid are sold to the town at the sale (12-157(c)(2)) and are subject to the same redemption; after that the town owns them, and any later sale is the town's own property disposition, not a tax sale. A town may assign its tax liens under 12-195h, but only by resolution of its legislative body, for consideration it negotiates with the assignee, and under a written contract with statutory terms, which in practice means a bulk sale to an institutional buyer, not a counter purchase.
Does Connecticut publish a lands-available list?
No statewide list. Ask the town's tax collector or treasurer about town-owned parcels.
Because there is no standing list, Connecticut inventory reaches investors through the scheduled auctions instead. Check the county pages for each county's sale calendar, and compare against the states that do hold land off-auction before trusting any list marketed as an Connecticut over-the-counter list.
