Delinquent Ad Valorem Taxes on Judicial Foreclosure
I bought a condo in mid-2015 at a Court Foreclosure Sale. I now realize that the bank did not pay the last two years of ad valorem taxes, for 2014 and 2015. The 2013 tax bill has the previous condo owners name, while the 2014 has my name on it. Am I responsible for paying this delinquent tax in a Judicial Foreclosure state/county? Or is the foreclosing bank? Thanks for your help!

Yes, if you bought it at the foreclosure auction, it's yours. Delinquent property taxes always survive, and the bank never owned it anyway. I'm guessing you also found out past condo dues become yours too.
