If you don’t pay your property taxes, they auction your house without telling you and one day the sheriff comes and pays you a visit.

The above is all perfectly legal.

The only way to reclaim your property is to pay the man that won the auction whatever his price is...assuming he wants to sell.

Wrong, you pay the court, the person who bought the property has no say in the matter. Now where did you get that real estate degree??

This isn't about property taxes. It's about homeowner association fees. The HOA foreclosed not the gubmint.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the new owner has a friend on the board.
