Yes, in theory. A lien is recorded assertion of an unpaid debt, so a town could sell its lien to a collection agency (if laws permit) and that agency could then foreclose on the lien by obtaining a court judgment on the debt.

However, many states frown on this and make it much easier for the town to simply auction the property itself to the public, take the proceeds in satisfaction of the debt, remove the lien, and let the new owner evict the taxpayer (or rent to the taxpayer, if preferred). A third party might have a harder time of getting the lien foreclosed.

What is meant by third party joint tenants?

Your phrase is not a legal term. However, you may be referring to a situation where a property owner desires to transfer her property to herself and another as joint tenants. In Massachusetts the owner now has a statutory right to execute a deed granting the property to herself and another as joint tenants. In many other states a straw must be used. By that method title to the property is conveyed to a third party thereby severing the interest of the owner. Title to the property is immediately conveyed by that third party back to the two who desire to own the property as joint tenants.
