Tax Lien and Tax Deed Investment Risks

Purchasing delinquent real estate tax liens or acquiring tax deeds involves substantial financial and legal risk. Key risks include, but are not limited to:

Title Clouds & Quiet Title Actions: Tax deeds are conveyed without general warranty. To obtain marketable title or title insurance, buyers typically must complete a statutory quiet title lawsuit or judicial confirmation.
Environmental Liabilities & Superior Liens: Federal IRS tax liens, EPA environmental cleanup assessments, and municipal special assessments may survive tax sales depending on statutory jurisdiction.
Property Condition: Tax sale properties are sold strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS" without inspection rights. Structures may be condemned or subject to demolition orders.
Bankruptcy Stays: If a property owner files for Chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy before or after the sale, federal automatic stays may toll redemption periods or invalidate the auction.

Consult Qualified Counsel

Before bidding on any property or purchasing any certificate, always consult with a licensed real estate attorney in the county jurisdiction and perform a professional title search.
