Can I pay the taxes on a defaulted property and take title to it without participating in a public auction?
No. Any interested party may redeem the taxes to prevent the sale of the property or to preserve a lien, but not to take possession of the property. Legal title to tax-defaulted property subject to the Tax Collectors Power To Sell can only be obtained by being the successful bidder at the public auction.
