Cities get first shot at tax-foreclosed properties

Before paying any surplus, CRIM asks the city where the property is if it wants to acquire it. The city has 30 days to say yes. If the city says no or does not answer, a Puerto Rico agency may acquire it if its work fits the use. When a city or agency acquires through CRIM, that entity, through CRIM, pays you the surplus, and agencies also pay CRIM the full tax debt. A CRIM certificate that these payments were made serves as title and can be recorded.

How you get surplus after tax foreclosure

After a tax-foreclosure auction, CRIM must notify you within 30 days of the result and any surplus. Notices go by certified mail with return receipt. If a third party bought the property, you can request the surplus within 30 days; CRIM pays after the buyer certifies you gave up possession, and payment ends your right to redeem. If you do not redeem in 30 days, CRIM tells you the surplus is available and pays after it confirms who is entitled. If CRIM got the property, asking for the surplus counts as waiving redemption, and the right ends when CRIM pays. CRIM pays any surplus only after you deliver possession.
