Tax Liens on Foreclosing Props

[Charlene Rakhshani]

I checked out a foreclosing property with a Title Co to see how many liens were on Title. There were three, but none were tax liens. Can I safely assume that there will be no surprises.....that is, no tax liens? Or is there something else I should do, to find out what other judgments/liens are on the property that may be missed on Title?

There may be no tax liens filed yet - but that does not mean alot of taxes aren't owed. Taxes owed are not wiped out by foreclosure. The taxing authorities do not need a formal lien to perfect their interest.
