Re: Mechanic Lien on Property

Dear Reader: Properties purchased at Sheriff's sale auctions, by law, foreclose all liens against the real property being sold EXCEPT IRS Tax liens. Accordingly, be very careful when bidding to ascertain whether, or not, the property has any Federal tax liens, which will transfer liability with the Sheriff's Deed.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

J. Norman Stark, Cleveland, Ohio
