12.28 B. New Title Free And Clear But Subject To
Jurisdiction | New York |
B. New Title Free and Clear but Subject to
A deed from a county treasurer creates an absolute estate in fee1932 subject to (1) county, town, city, village or state liens for other taxes;1933 (2) granted easements affecting the land that existed when the tax was levied;1934 (3) restrictive covenants;1935 (4) rights of redemption of occupants or others; and (5) cancellation. Cancellation1936 in this sense means cancellation for prior payment of the taxes,1937 for an illegal levy and for defects in the proceedings affecting the “jurisdiction upon constitutional grounds.”1938
Despite the apparent absoluteness1939 of these definitions of tax titles, certain interests (in addition to the statutory exceptions) may not be cut off by the new title:
1. Lands owned by sovereign nations used to house their representatives to the United Nations were held subject to the jurisdiction of the court, but the court chose not to exercise that jurisdiction. The court was persuaded that, if jurisdiction were exercised, the executive branch of the federal government would be embarrassed in its conduct of foreign affairs. The court contented itself with some scathing comments about foreigners being permitted to live here tax-free and being permitted to ruin some of our finest villages.1940
2. State lands are exempt from sales in any action for the foreclosure of a tax lien under either proceeding permitted in RPTL Article 11.1941
3. While lands owned and used as a city park are not subject to tax foreclosure proceedings,1942 otherwise tax-exempt properties can be foreclosed if the owner claiming the exemption fails to protect its interest.1943
4. Interests of the federal government are not cut off by a tax deed unless they are subordinate to the lien of the tax under federal law and federal decisions.1944 Mortgage interests held by the federal government (other than those taken by assignment) have been held to be immune from the ordinary “super priority” of real estate taxes.1945 Similarly, estate tax liens and judgments held by the federal government, which become liens before the lien date of the real estate tax, retain their priority.1946
