Sec. 12-184. Appointment of appraisers. Upon the filing of any such petition in
court, the clerk shall record the date of its receipt thereon and promptly bring the same
to the attention of the court, or any judge thereof, who shall, within two weeks from the
filing date, appoint two qualified and disinterested appraisers to appraise such real estate
being foreclosed and report to said court the fair market value of each liened parcel
appearing in such petition. Such appraisers shall file their report in duplicate with the
court, or any judge thereof, within thirty days from the date of their appointment, identifying each parcel listed in such petition by its serial number. The court, or any judge
thereof, in its or his discretion, may grant a reasonable extension of said thirty-day period
only upon due cause being shown. When their report has been returned to and accepted
by the court, it, or any judge thereof, shall determine the compensation to be paid to
each of them and, if more than one municipality has joined in the proceeding, the part
of such compensation each shall pay. The clerk of the court shall certify the amounts
of compensation to be paid by each municipality to its treasurer, who shall pay the same.
The filing of such petition in the office of the clerk of the court shall constitute the
beginning of an action for the foreclosure of the tax lien or liens upon each of the parcels
of real estate described.
