You are using both tax sale and mortgage foreclosure in your posts, so I can understand why this post went unanswered for so long.If we are talking the upset tax sale, the simple answer is that the liens remain in place.If we are talking judicial tax sale, the simple answer is that the liens will be divested (at least for those where proper service of the notice of tax sale was properly delivered to the lien holders).Which leaves mortgage foreclosure.

not a problem. all you have to do is stay consistent.
