tax foreclosure
Lien-forced property loss
Tax foreclosure is the legal process by which a government seizes and sells property to recover unpaid property taxes.
When owners fall behind on taxes, the taxing authority can place a lien on the property and eventually force its sale at auction.
The county initiated tax foreclosure proceedings after three years of delinquent payments.
