Results sort by pickup distance, so a radius search also catches real estate just over the New York state line that browsing by state alone would hide.

Will you inherit back taxes on a property in New York?

It depends entirely on which kind of sale you are looking at, and the two are easy to mix up. Government REO (HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GSA, CWS) conveys with clear, insurable title and the seller settles past-due property taxes at closing. County tax sales (tax-defaulted, sheriff, judicial) are the opposite: the buyer can inherit senior liens, face a redemption period, and get title that is not insurable without a quiet-title action. We label which of the two every listing falls into on its page.

For the tax-sale side, New York is a tax lien state. The county sells the unpaid tax debt, not the house. You buy a certificate that earns interest, and you only get the property if the owner never repays. The former owner then has 2 years to reclaim the property. Title here usually needs a quiet-title action before it is insurable or resellable.

We do not estimate what a specific property owes. Lien and back-tax amounts live in county records and only a title search returns the real number, so any figure produced without one is a guess you should not bid against.
