I found mine like that and he charge me $400 to cut it and install it.

We include audit defense at no extra charge with every study even though an audit is extremely unlikely.

1.Knock the door.2.Skip trace the owner.Just a thought....if you can in fact buy at the tax sale you may get it cheaper and with non-governmental liens wiped out....but perhaps with a right of redemption.Before the sale you might pay more, but then maybe you are the only bidder and no redemption period.

It's cheaper and more sustainable than sending trash to the landfill.
