The last thing anyone wants is to get mixed up with tax lien sales. Of course, it can be unavoidable at times. The government makes mistakes, but is quite reluctant to admit them.
Best educate yourself about Tax Liens as quickly and thoroughly as possible if you find yourself in this situation. Information is key.
These things generally are negotiable, though, so do the best you can to talk them down if you end up having to pay up.
I can’t wait to hear your response.
