Finding Owner Of Tax Lien
How do I find the name of a owner of a tax lien on property? There is application submitted to excerise sale will the County give me this info?
Also, once it’s exercised are there large fees and does the tax lien payoff increase dramatically?
Thanks

The name of the entity that purchased a tax lien is public domain. Many county websites have it listed on the Treasurer page for each parcel. I have had people contact me about the tax liens I hold on a parcel and they said they got my name from the county just by calling or going in person. They then did an online search to get my contact information.
As for fees and payoffs - it depends on the county/state rules. You'll need to do your research on tax lien payoffs for the specific state and county you are looking to buy.
