message: My County told me tax lien purchaser takes subject to all liens...why would this not include a mortgage on the property?  Does anybody know?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marcjacob (talk • contribs). 
::Dear Marcjacob: Well, we don't generally render legal or tax advice in Wikipedia. The article does not say that the liens would not include a mortgage on the property, so I'm not sure of the purpose of your question. The general rule is that a purchaser of real estate takes the property subject to any perfected liens, whether those liens be mortages, tax liens, or whatever. Whether a lien is perfected is a somewhat complex legal question. Also, the order of priority among competing liens is a separate legal question. Yours, Famspear 20:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Marcjacob: OK, maybe I understand your question. The statement that a mortgage lien takes secondary to a tax lien means, for example, that if there isn't enough money to cover both liens, the tax lien has to be paid in full before any money goes to pay down the debt secured by the mortgage. It's just a question of which creditor gets paid off first. That is a separate concept from the statement that the buyer takes the property subject to all liens. In the example, the buyer does take the property "subject to all liens" - in other words, both the tax lien holder and the mortgage holder will generally demand that they be paid -- even if the buyer purchases the property. This means that the fact that the buyer was not the one who incurred the taxes, and the fact that the buyer was not the one who borrowed the money that gave rise to the debt secured by the mortagage, do not change the fact that the property will be subject to those liens - even after the buyer acquires the property -- unless of course the obligations to which those liens relate are paid off.
