ad valorem tax

Literally means “according to the value.”A tax placed upon property and calculated with reference to the value of the property. Ad valorem taxes usually have a super-priority, so that a sale for unpaid taxes will transfer title into the buyer, free and clear of any mortgages or other liens. On the other hand, lienholders are generally given the right to redeem property from tax sales, and regain all rights simply by reimbursing the purchaser for the sale price plus accrued interest.
