Then, if the property doesn't go on the auction block until 2017, in addition to what you pay for at the auction, you will also need to pay for taxes for 2014, 2015,2016, and 2017 when they are due.  

These are typically deductible in the year they’re done.On the other hand, improvements that better the property, restore it after substantial damage, or adapt it for a new use generally have to be capitalized and depreciated over time.Now, if the cost is $2,500 or less, you might be able to use the De Minimis Safe Harbor election to expense it immediately, rather than depreciating it.
