Those are due in 2019 and if not paid, then they are auctioned in 2020.

I reached out to the Dept. of Revenue for clarity on how best to go about paying the tax or possibly getting it released, so hopeful I can get some answers before the auction in November. 

Held our first auctions since Covid started.

At a foreclosure auction, it's probably pretty easy to over-bid when you're essentially in a "competition" with someone, for example.

Hello, I took possession after the auction after couple days by changing locks.

I could give you some resources and websites listing foreclosures, but it would be hard for you to participate in the auction.

But I found it easier at the point after the property goes to foreclosure auction where the controlling party is determined, i.e. the foreclosing bank.

If they dont pay the debt it goes to auction. 

Do not expect the same level of service we get until you have done multiple loans.This is items that our mortgage broker has done for us in addition to getting us the loan: volunteered to be the escrow so that we could enter escrow on a weekend, had a contact do preliminary title searches for auction properties at no cost to us, providing us free access to a comp service that provides a property value as well as the comps used in determining that value, provided us contracts for purchases without an RE agents, and providing us free access to a skip tracing like function.  

If you mean tax liens, you often don't get the property, if you mean tax deeds that is fine but very few quality properties go to auction.
