About RegionSide & Adjudicated Properties

What does RegionSide do?

RegionSide helps adjoining property owners navigate municipal programs for acquiring eligible neighboring properties. We help organize the process, prepare required documentation, and provide guidance from initial eligibility review through final recording.

What is an adjudicated property?

An adjudicated property is generally a property that has gone through a tax-sale or municipal adjudication process and remains subject to specific local requirements before it may be transferred.

Does RegionSide sell the property?

No. RegionSide assists property owners with the acquisition process. The applicable municipality determines property availability, eligibility, approval, and final disposition.

Who does RegionSide serve?

RegionSide works with adjoining homeowners, real estate investors, and municipalities participating in eligible property acquisition programs.

How RegionSide Works

How do I get started?

Start by selecting the property you're interested in and submitting the requested information. RegionSide will then begin reviewing the property and your potential eligibility.

What happens after I submit my information?

We review the property, confirm relevant program requirements, organize the necessary documentation, and provide instructions for the next stage of the municipal process.

How long does the process take?

Processing times vary depending on the municipality, property status, documentation requirements, review periods, and other factors outside of RegionSide's control.

Will RegionSide keep me updated?

Yes. RegionSide provides updates as important milestones are reached and communicates when additional information or action is required.

Costs & Deposits

What does the initial deposit cover?

Deposit requirements may cover initial processing, property research, documentation preparation, and other services associated with beginning the acquisition process.

Are municipal fees included?

Municipal fees and third-party costs may be separate from RegionSide service charges. Any applicable amounts will be identified as the process progresses.

Will I know the estimated costs before proceeding?

RegionSide aims to provide clear information about known costs and anticipated expenses before significant steps are taken.

Eligibility

Do I have to own property next to the available lot?

Adjoining landowner programs generally require the applicant to own qualifying property adjacent to the subject parcel. Exact requirements depend on the municipality.

Does submitting an application guarantee approval?

No. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the municipality and depend on the property remaining available and satisfying all applicable program requirements.

Can property availability change?

Yes. Property status can change during the process due to redemption, municipal action, competing applications, or other circumstances.

Documents & Recording

What documents may be required?

Requirements vary by municipality but may include applications, affidavits, ownership information, identification, supporting property records, and notarized documents.

Does RegionSide prepare the paperwork?

RegionSide helps organize and prepare required documentation according to the applicable municipal process and provides instructions for signatures, notarization, and submission.

What happens after the municipality approves the acquisition?

Final steps may include payment, execution of transfer documents, municipal processing, deed preparation, and recording in the appropriate public records.
