What is a Tax Sale Property?
A tax sale property is real estate being sold by a municipality because the owner has failed to pay property taxes for an extended period (typically 3+ years).
These properties are often sold at below-market prices, making them attractive to investors. The municipality sells the property to recover unpaid taxes.
