§ 9308 Assessment Lien Notice Effect

• •Once the government files a tax on your land, it becomes a debt tied to that land.
• •If you buy land with this tax debt, you have to pay it, even if you didn’t know about it.
• •The tax debt stays with the land, not the person who owned it before.

You buy a house, but the previous owner didn’t pay their property taxes.

Even if you didn’t know about the unpaid taxes, you now have to pay them because the debt stays with the house.
