All liens cleared in NJ Sheriff Sale?

[Account Closed]

I am trying to understand the process of Sheriff Sale for Bergen County, NJ (judial foreclosure). After calling Sheriff's office and talking to real estate professionals, they state that all liens (excluding tax liens and IRS liesn ) below the 1st position get cleared.

Is this really the case in NJ? I hear several other points stating that you are still responsible for paying all encumbrance and all liens regardless of 1st lien position.

What is the correct answer?
