Section 5860.703 - Such properties to be sold under provisions of Article VI(a) All properties so turned over to the bureau which have not been sold at private sale, as hereinbefore provided, may be sold at public sale by the bureau upon written request of any taxing authorities having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property. Such sale shall be made at the time specified in the request and in the same manner as if the property was being sold at a first sale on a tax claim, as provided in Articles III and VI, except that it shall be a simple public sale with no upset price, and shall divest only the lien of tax claims and tax judgments. The purchaser of any such property shall be given a deed, executed and acknowledged as hereinbefore provided, which shall convey title free, clear and discharged of all tax claims and tax judgments, whether or not returned, filed or entered as provided by this or any other act. The notices to be given of such sale, as required in Article VI for an upset sale, as provided for insections 605 through 612.1, shall state that there is no upset price and that the sale shall divest only the lien of taxes and tax judgments.(b) In lieu of the public sale provided for in the preceding subsection, or if such sale is held but the property is not sold due to the absence of any bid, the bureau, upon written request of any such interested taxing authorities, may sell such property upon petition to court for an order to sell clear and free of all claims, liens, mortgages and estates in the same manner with like proceedings and with like effect as if said properties had been first exposed to public sale as provided in Article VI but not sold because of insufficient bid. The sale of properties turned over to the bureau under the provisions of this article shall, except as herein otherwise provided, be subject to all the provisions of Article VI in so far as they may be applicable, and when sold at public sale by order of court, as above provided, such properties shall be sold free and discharged from all tax and municipal claims, mortgages, liens, charges and estates whatsoever.1947, July 7, P.L. 1368, art.
