Deliquent property tax
If a certain property has not paid the said property tax (deliquent) and I pay the tax that is deliquent, will the rights to said property be foreclosed and give me the rights to the property?

Re: Deliquent property tax
If the proeprty tax is not paid when due, then the tax collector will sell a tax certificate. At any time between 2 and 7 years after the certificate is issued, the certificate holder may request that the property be sold to pay off the certificate. The certificate holder, along with anyone else may bid on the property. All other lien holders are notified and may also bid on the property. The winning bidder will have to satisfy the other liens. However, to answer your question, merely paying the taxes by obtaining a tax certificate does not give you any rights in the property. It only gives you right to request a sale to receive repayment of the certificate.
