Basically allowing one to obtain legal title to a property that was truly and legally abandoned.
It would be a potentially powerful force in reversing urban decay and squalor.
It would require the “squatter” to make significant improvements to the property and assume and pay off any and all back taxes and liens. Not by just simple “occupying” property legally owned by others.
Corporations, realtors and other types of professional invest firms would be prohibited from using that legal device.
ANYONE can browse the tax liens properties & GO to County & work to purchase said properties.
A SQUATTER is a renter who won’t move-—
OR a person who has broken into a home & refuses to leave.
Could be a home up for sale
Could be owners are on vacation
Could be the owners have a 2nd home that they are at-—
Could be any number of things.
STEALING your home is no different than stealing your car-—ONLY much bigger problem.

No, simply purchase the property.
