How long can property taxes be delinquent before the county forecloses on the property?
For property taxes that are not paid on personal property the county has the authority to immediately seize the property. Real property will be foreclosed on three years after the property taxes first become delinquent on May 16 of the tax year. So for taxes that first become due on November 15, 2001, the property will be foreclosed on three years after May 16, 2002 or in May 2005.
