The tax collector may, by his attorney, not more than twice in each calendar year, file in the office of the clerk of the superior court for the judicial district in which the property is situated, a petition in the name of the municipality for the foreclosure of any tax lien or liens on the respective properties so liened, and may include in one petition any number of such properties, each of which shall be numbered serially. Such petition shall be addressed to the court, as above stated, and shall be substantially in the following form: “The.... of...., acting by its tax collector hereunto subscribing, herewith submits a list of properties located in the.... of.... upon which are liens for unpaid taxes and states that in his judgment the fair market value of each of such properties is not more than one hundred thousand dollars and such value is less than the total amount due upon tax liens and other encumbrances thereon.” A list of the various parcels of property sought to be foreclosed shall follow, containing, as to each parcel, the following information: (a) A description sufficient to identify each parcel affected by any such tax lien. The latest description of such parcel as appears of record shall be considered a sufficient description and, in all cases in which such parcel can be further identified by a known street address, such address shall be included in the description; (b) the name, residence and, if known, the address of the owner or owners of such parcel as they appear on the most recent assessment list of the taxing district wherein such property is located; (c) the principal of such tax due thereon, the amount of which, with interest, if any, and the fees and other charges, is secured by such lien and the date or dates when the principal of such tax becomes due; (d) the name, residence and, if known, the address, of each present record holder of any interest in, or encumbrance on, such liened property and the nature and amount thereof, as disclosed by the land records; (e) the last day of the period during which such property may be redeemed, which shall be the last day of the fourth month after the month in which the list is filed in court. Such petition shall be verified by the oath of the tax collector that the information contained therein is true to the best of his knowledge and belief.
