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.

Who pays property taxes when buying a home?
Typically the seller will, however in real estate anything is negotiable. The real estate broker or other person responsible for the closing estimates the annual real estate taxes for the subject property being sold. The seller is responsible for the real estate taxes from January 1 through the day before closing. The buyer is responsible for real estate taxes as of the day of closing through the end of the year. Real estate taxes are generally estimated and prorated on a calendar year basis. At closing both the buyer and the seller receive a copy of the settlement sheet that, among other things, shows debts and credits for real estate taxes. If, at the end of the tax year, the estimated taxes were substantially inaccurate, the party that underpaid for their portion of the prorated year can be asked to contribute to the party that overpaid.
