In theory it is possible in the majority of US states for a judgment creditor to excute a judgment as a forced sale of property owned solely by the judgment debtor.

There are so many factors involved (time, expense, etc.) creditors rarely use a judgment as a forced sale. The judgment creditor usually files a lien against the property owned by the debtor. Liens are extremely damaging as they prevent the debtor from selling, refinancing or transferring title until the judgment lien is paid. A lien also continues to accrue interest making even a small debt into a large one. Many liens are valid for 20 or more years and the majority of liens are renewable.

What happens with your credit if you lost the house for unpaid taxes?

Technically speaking, your home has nothing to do with your credit. A loan taken out with the home as collateral does. Therefore the foreclosure of such collateral by the county for unpaid property taxes will not affect your credit. It is very rare that any lender would allow the county to take a home they have a loan on (they will usually pay the taxes) so I assume you owned the home without a traditional mortgage. What will affect your credit are things like: Tax liens Late payments to a mortgage company Default on any mortgage debt
