Options When Facing a Tax Lien Foreclosure
Unfortunately, a homeowner has very few options when facing a tax lien foreclosure.
The options come down to:
Pay the taxes
Sell the property to recapture some of the equity before the foreclosure
Lose the property to the tax lien
Taxes can be paid on the Maricopa County Treasurer site. If a homeowner feels they are unable to pay all due taxes, they might consider selling the property to avoid losing all their equity to the foreclosure.
SAHA works with homeowners experiencing tax lien foreclosure to understand the issue. Sometimes, we find vacant properties and seek to locate the owners or heirs in order to buy the property. This also will result in the owners or heirs getting cash instead of allowing the property to be lost to auction.
