Property in Foreclosure
Facing the possibility of foreclosure is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can experience, especially when unpaid property taxes are involved.
If you’re at risk of losing your home, MD Tax Help will guide you through your options and help you take action to avoid foreclosure.
What is Foreclosure?
Foreclosure occurs when a homeowner fails to pay their property taxes or mortgage payments.
If property taxes aren’t paid, the local government may take legal steps to seize the property and sell it to recover the owed taxes. This may involve a tax sale or foreclosure. MD Tax Help explains the process and helps you explore ways to avoid losing your home.
What Happens During Foreclosure?
• Property Tax Liens :
If you don’t pay your property taxes, the government may place a lien on your property. A lien is a legal claim, but it does not mean you lose your home immediately. However, if the debt remains unpaid, this could lead to a tax sale or foreclosure. If you’re facing a lien, it’s important to act quickly to prevent the situation from escalating. MD Tax Help can help you understand your options and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue.
• Payment Plans & Tax Relief :
If you’re behind on property taxes and at risk of losing your home, you may qualify for payment plans or tax relief programs. These options can reduce the amount you owe, lower penalties, or give you more time to pay. MD Tax Help will help you explore these options and find a solution that works for you, helping you avoid foreclosure and keep your home.
• Negotiating to Avoid Foreclosure :
In some cases, MD Tax Help can negotiate with tax authorities on your behalf to prevent foreclosure. This may involve setting up a payment plan, reducing the amount owed, or finding alternative ways to resolve your tax debt. While not every case results in debt reduction, we will explore all available options to stop foreclosure and help you protect your home.
