Mike,

The tax liens I am talking about in this post are property tax liens. They are valid for two years in MD.

Tax Liens are effective for a period of ten years and are generally self-releasing after that period unless refiled by the IRS in which case, it shall be effective for another 10 years.

I am not sure what you are referring too. I may have written about a law suit. I write about things regarding the law and rel estate regularly.

I think I just read about that on another blog where you left a comment. There was a law suit you were in and I was wondering if you had written about it.

Yep, local councils and government are all about now aren't they. I remember when I had to pay a huge tax bill, through the Tax department changing the tax law and backdating it catching a whole lot of us in the net, and asked if I could pay in installments and they asked if I had a house. I replied in the affirmative and they suggested I sell it to pay off my debt, so I was forced to take out a loan. Needless to say there was a class action taken against the tax office which we won several years later and all monies was refunded. .-= Sire´s last blog ..Getting More Than Just Money For Doing The Xomba =-.

Sire,
In some states they do that. The state takes over the property then they auction off a “Tax Deed.”

In Maryland, if the house is foreclosed by the tax lien holder, the amount of the original tax lien bid above and beyond the taxes due, goes to the owner of the property.

I think the real reason is the city or county wants the money NOW, not a few years latter when they can take over the property and resell it.
