Will you inherit the back taxes?
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.
On the tax-sale side the rules are set by state: 18 states sell tax liens, 18 sell tax deeds, and 15 run a hybrid. That decides what you buy, how long the former owner can take it back, and whether you can insure the title.
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.

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