Property taxes are used to do many things within your town or borough. They use taxes to build and maintain roads, update sewage lines or other utilities they might provide, general maintence of the town and many, many other things. So, if we didnt pay taxes on our property, the town would reflect that, by bad roads and no maintence. The quality of living in your town would decrease immencely. That is not a good thing. But by owning a home in a town and paying taxes, the town would reflect a good quality of surroundings, which in the end, helps you with the value of your property as who wants to own property in a poorly maintained town? So, in the end, it helps you too. If monies are used correctly, it is a good thing for everyone concerned.

If you paid the delinquent property taxes on another person's property can you file a lien against it to recover your expenditure when the property is sold?
YES BUT YOU SHOULD DO IT RIGHT AFTER YOU PAY THE TAXES. * No. The party who paid the delinquent taxes has no legal rights to the property. You cannot automatically place a lien against property other than that of a Mechanic's Lien. The paying of the taxes would be considered a loan, the only option for recovery of the monies if the property owner did not voluntarily repay the amount would be to sue the party in the appropriate state court.

Absolutely not. That person would be a volunteer, having paid the taxes on property they don't own. Paying the property taxes does not bestow legal title. You would need to obtain title from the heirs or from the town after the town takes possession of the property by tax title foreclosure.
