I know I have to pay my property taxes and if I don’t I’ll have a lien attached to my home. Therefore I pay in a timely fashion and if I get a note from the town that I’m late I pay right away.
I love to pay my property tax in the same way I love to pay my income tax.
Hopefully the person who purchased her lien works things out with her.
My view is that I don't remember being consulted on either one. I do know they conned my great-grandfather into agreeing with the income tax - on the richest 1%...
In Texas you can refuse to pay your property tax and they can’t take it until you sell it or die. That is if you have it “homesteaded”. You will owe the tax but I don’t think they can’t take your homesteaded property for back taxes. Then again, I’m not going to find out.
I’ve been arguing with my mortgage company about tax escrows. In Texas the servicer is allowed to collect 1/12th of the yearly tax bill per month PLUS maintain 1/6th as a cushion. To keep my payments where they are I’m having to pay them $700. At the end of the year there’ll be an overage and they’ll pro-rate it until I get my money back. It’s a bunch of BS.
