Utah Property Tax Lien Sale

[David Gross]

The sales are happening this month or next in Utah.  I know the process is not as simple as it appears at first and it varies from state to state. I'm most concerned about getting a clear title. Does anyone have any experience in Utah?

A property tax lien buyer should always refer to the state's constitution for answers about how the process goes and to get details on lien forgiveness. https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Titl...

As per a ruling in the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, you need to get confirmation that a notice has been served to all former owners and if needed their heirs.  I generally file copies of confirmation of these notices in the county/parish courthouse under the property description and parcel number to ensure there is no future questions about validity of the sale.

If you cannot get a due process notification many properties remain secure in your hands simply because you are the only acting owner taking care of the land and in the eyes of the local Sheriff you are the bonafide owner of the property.  As a result, renting out these lands is an excellent way to handle your investment.

Cheers and remember, your actions are patriotic in my eyes.  Anyone who supports our nation through payment of unpaid taxes believes in America and our way of life!
