When property taxes go unpaid, the city holds an annual auction offering individuals looking to buy investment property to purchases as many tax liens as they want. When you purchase a lien, you are not fully purchasing the property. You just paying the property owner's taxes and getting the lien certificate.If the property owner will not pay the tax within the given time, then lien holder can foreclose on the property.

A lien on real estate means that someone else has an interest in the property. The property cannot be refinanced or sold without satisfying the lien. A lien can arise from unpaid personal or real estate taxes, court judgments or installation of municipal services such as sewer lines.
