Re: Tax Lien Sales
Yes, you are responsible for the dues because you became the owner at the time you won the bid. Prior HOA dues should be voided due to the foreclosure. Check the county records. The sheriff probably recorded the deed and you are now the owner of record. If you don't find a deed of record, contact the sheriff's office and request that they furnish one to you. Be sure and file it of record in the office of the County Clerk in the county where the property is located.
