It depends on the jurisdiction. You must check your state laws. There may be a right to redeem: you pay the government the taxes, penalties, interest, fees and any other costs, and the person who bought the lien is reimbursed. Redemption periods vary according to state law and those time periods are critical - if you miss it you could lose the property.

Many jurisdictions now use a judicial process to take and sell property for delinquent taxes. Redemption is barred by the decree. Massachusetts is one example. In that case the buyer is the new owner and you must move out.

What's the difference between a foreclosure auction and a regular auction?

A foreclosure auction is a forced auction. The person who used to own the property being auctioned owed either the bank or the government money.
