Tax Deed sales

[Carlton White]

I would like to get a better understanding of what happens if you purchase a tax deed certificate and the property has a mortgage, or other liens against it.

If I purchased the deed to a property how do I get rid of the other liens attached? Do I have to pay them off or what?

[Kendall Bond]

When you purchase a Tax DEED at auction the other liens (mortgage, deed of trust) are wiped out. Other liens may remain in some states so you have to check you local jurisdiction for what liens will remain.

You may be confused though because you say above 'tax deed certificate' which there is no such document.
