The county has to notify any mortgage companies of the pending tax sale and if they choose to do nothing then when the tax deed is issued the mortgage is wiped out.Pretty much the only liens that would be senior to a tax lien is a IRS or State income tax lien.All other liens are wiped out when the higher priority tax Deed is issued.I also have a good working relationship with my county officials.

Not an 'official' one like they do in large commercial negotiations, but a letter that is kind of personable and states some things you like about the house/property and a few ways you would be interested in purchasing it.
