The current owner yes, not the one foreclosed on. (And the past owner owes the one that foreclosed for any tax that was due for the period that owner had it).

If going through foreclosure do property taxes have to be paid?
Yes. The taxes on owed on the property, no matter who owns the property.
Do you still owe real estate taxes after foreclosure?
The property taxes are owed by the owner. When the property is sold at auction the debt stays with the property. If the winning bidder is the lender then the lender ends up with the obligation. Until the tax is paid a lien will remain on the property's title.
What happens if the home fails to sell at the foreclosure auction?
by definition, a foreclosed property has to have someone file the foreclosure usually due to them being owed money and the property is security on the property. This is not cheap or free. Hence, there is always a "buyer" out there which is often the lender.
Can a house be foreclosed on if there is no mortgage?
Absolutely. Mortgage defaults are not the only trigger for a foreclosure. Even though the outstanding debt or mortgage has been paid off, taxes are levied against the property yearly. Delinquent property taxes may trigger the tax title foreclosure process. In addition, Homeowners Associations can initiate foreclosure in the attempt to collect overdue fees. The federal government may also initiate the foreclosure process to collect taxes owed to Uncle Sam. There may be other instances, but for the most part, these are the most common.
Do banks benefit with foreclosure?
Generally, no. Foreclosed property is often in poor condition since the owners did not have the resources, nor sometimes the experience or motivation, to properly maintain the property. Therefore it is often worth much less than the amount owed on the mortgage. The condition deteriorates further when it stands empty for a long period of time. Legal fees relating to the foreclosure can be costly and are often not recovered from the sale of the property or the former owner.
Are property taxes owed to the state from the owner when a property is foreclosed?
Property taxes are paid to local governments like counties, not states. If a property is sold at foreclosure auction, usually the county property taxes are paid first out of any proceeds from the sale.
Is the buyer of a foreclosure home responsible for any back taxes still owed?
As a technical legal rule, the answer is that the buyer of a foreclosure home is not personally liable for back taxes that remain owed. However, the back taxes may well still serve as a lien on the property that can be foreclosed by the taxing authority. In other words, the government cannot make you pay the taxes, but they can take the property from you if the taxes are not paid. As a result, the real world answer is that the buyer of a foreclosed home is responsible for any back taxes still owed. Before you purchase foreclosed property, it is always a good idea to check the tax records to see if any back taxes are still owed. If they are, plan on paying them off as soon as possible. Unfortunately the new owner will still be responsible for the taxes. My friend got what she thought was a great deal on a split level until she got a bill for six thousand dollars back taxes. She was unable to pay so she lost the house.
Having a quit claim signed and notarized who is responsible for property taxes back owed?
The new owner.
Who is responsible for back taxes on a quitclaim deed?
It is the responsibility of the land owner to pay the property taxes. If a land owner is selling property for which back taxes are owed the payment of the taxes can be part of the negotiations for the sale of the land. However, the issue must be addressed prior to the sale.It is up to the purchaser of property to make certain the property taxes have been paid by the seller at the time of the purchase. If the buyer doesn't demand proof the taxes have been paid BEFORE the sale, the land will be acquired SUBJECT TO any back taxes owed. If land is purchased for which back taxes are owed the new owner will be responsible for paying the back taxes or the town will take possession of the property.The purchase of real property should always be supervised by an attorney. One of the first items on the land purchase check list is to obtain a certificate from the town that states the taxes are paid.

How do you find out if there are back taxes owed on a property?
To find out if back property taxes are owed on property (real estate or personal property) call your local city or county treasurer's office. Some cities and counties have tax collectors or assessors who handle this function. If you are buying real estate your title insurance company will investigate any back taxes owned the property for you.
If there is a tax lien against your property since 1985 from a previous owner you no longer have title ins do you have to pay the levy amount?
In most cases, the lien will have to be paid by the current owner when dealing with real estate as it "run with the land." That means the new property owner becomes responsible for repayment of taxes owed even if the unpaid taxes occurred because of a prior owner.For More Information Go To: http://www.taxdebtaid.com/remove_tax_lien.html
Can a town foreclose on past due property taxes and take your home?
Absolutely, they can. A lien will be placed on the property which prevents you from being able to sell the property or mortgage it without paying the property taxes. The last resort is that they can have an auction and sell the property on the Courthouse or City Hall steps with the new buyer being subject to pay the taxes owed on the property. If you wait this long you cannot bid on the property yourself.
