Buying a property with a tax lien

[Eugene Thurston]

Good morning Bigger Pockets,

I am interested in purchasing a property that looks like a good rehab project. The property’s owner passed away a few years ago and their daughter now owns the property but she lives out of state. There is currently a tax lien on the project. What is the best course of action for me to follow? Do I contact the owner, and if so, how do I go about doing that? Or should I contact my city tax collector? 
thank you for your help!
