Answer:

If you pay someone's property taxes you would be considered a volunteer. That wouldn't give you any fee interest in the property.

Occasionally, tax authorities will put a property with seriously delinquent tax payments up for sale and then you could buy the property for the cost of taxes. Contact your local city or county treasurer who handles the property taxes for your area.

If property is being sold for back taxes in a couple days and someone else finds out goes to courthouse pays all the back taxes due on the property because owners did not want the property. who owns?

Typically, if the back taxes are paid by anyone before the tax sale, ownership of the property does not change. If there was a written agreement between the owners and the person who paid the taxes that stated that the owners agreed to deed the property to the tax-payer after the tax-payer paid the taxes, then the agreement could be enforced as a legally binding contract and the owners could be forced to deed the property to the tax-payer. However, the owners remain the owners until they deed the property to someone else or until the property is sold at a tax sale or other type of foreclosure.
