Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
BAck property taxes
We have had to foreclose on some raw land we sold.
The man left us with some back taxes, on this land.
Do we have to pay these taxes to get the property back into our name ?

It depends on how the foreclosure was handled. Did you bid on the property, or was it sold to another? Were there any overages from the sale?

You need to pay the back taxes to be sure the taxing authorities don't foreclose on YOU! If the foreclosure was handled properly, those documents should reflect your ownership. Best to have an attorney review if it was do-it-yourself.
