Vacant Land Tax Lien Possession in Alabama

[BJ Crump]

Hello,

I recently acquired a few tax liens in Alabama via the county tax lien auctions.  After browsing this site and several other google searches, I can't get a clear idea of the how to take possession of empty lots and acreage. Everything I purchased was land, no houses or building of any kind.  For a couple of the lots, I've already been cutting the grass and keeping them clean for over a year now and intend to keep doing so.  Other than keeping the lots cut/clean, post a no trespassing sign with my phone number, and speaking with the neighbors, is there anything else I should do in order to show possession? 

Thanks,

Bobby

@BJ Crump, after the recent RioProp decision regarding investors losing all of their rights and all of their money if they do not take exclusive possession within 3 years of the tax deed, it is best to be as conservative as possible with vacant law. Otherwise, the taxpayer could claim that he sometimes was on the land also, which makes your possession only scrambling possession, not exclusive possession.  Best to file an ejectment lawsuit with vacant land.
