A tax lien does not give the buyer ownership of the property. It gives the buyer a claim for money that is superior to almost any other tax lien, including mortgages and is secured by the real estate. If this claim for money is not satisfied the tax lien holder can apply for and receive the property, subject to the conditions set by the statutes for the jurisdiction. Approximate redemption rate for residential properties is somewhat above 90% in most jurisdictions. Our tax lien lists give you the capability to sort and filter the lists to meet your own criteria. The lists allow you to avoid visiting the court house that should be an absolute requirement in your due diligence process.
