The statutes usually name all parties with an interest in the property.Best to work with the title company to accomplish this so you will know up front what they need if that is the goal.Arnie

The statute provides that:(1) the owner’s right of redemption may be exercised not later than the 180th day following the date on which the purchaser’s or taxing unit’s deed if filed for record; and(2) the redemption premium payable by the owner to a purchaser other than a taxing unit may not exceed 25 percent

Every state has statutes on tax sales and it's procedures.

But usually, the owners are dead and that is why it went to tax sale.I would also suggest to familiarize yourself with the Texas statutes, which will have all your answers.

Plenty for me outside of that county.These 3 liens were 16% and actually there were 4 I had to foreclose on because the statute of limitations on my liens were about to expire.

most states will have their foreclosure statutes on line. read those first. but confirming with an attorney is a good start. keep in mind each state is vastly different.. then sometimes each county in the state are quite different .. and maybe right down to the city  etc etc.However do keep in mind its a business and in each venue there are usually 10 to 20 companies or investors ( larger MSA's ) that do this for a living have been doing it for years and are very stiff competition.One thing is certain you just cant hone in on one property.. if your going to do this you need to be looking at 20 to 50 properties that are coming up because only 1 to 3 of those will actually get all the way to the end and be sold off.

Should be easy to find in your state statutes.

Each county can pursue delinquent taxes its own way, within the statutes and caselaw. 

I'm putting together a survey of who does, and who does not, and cites to statutes, so I can include a chart in my next book.Thank you.

@Maria Mccarthy in Michigan, a landlord is released from giving a tenant a breakdown of charges against their security deposit if the tenant fails to abide by Michigan statute and give their forwarding address within 4 days.So, you legally don't owe the tenant an explanation or response.If you want to take the tenant to small claims court for the damages that exceeded the security deposit, you will need their current address to have them served.So, you might play a game with the tenant and tell them you need their current address to "move forward" regarding their security deposit and damages (do not mention amounts!).
