@John Clark so you’re saying if I was to buy it at the auction, that i’d be responsible for the IRS lien?

@Adam Bartling it’s already up for auction so can’t just pay off the taxes unless I’m missing something. What info are you talking about sharing?

Hello,

Big time reader, first time poster. I am looking at a property in Texas that is coming up on the Sheriff Sale this month. It is coming up for sale because they haven't paid the local school tax. It had a Federal Tax Lien filed against it in 2021 but no mortgage or other liens on the property (no bank involved), individual owns it outright. I have read a few other threads/questions that are similar, but aren't exactly the same scenario. My question is, if I was to bid on and win the property, am I responsible for the Federal Tax Lien amount or will that get erased from the property since it is really tied to an individual failing to pay income tax?
