Looks like we don't really own our properties, anyway. Tom

Where I live they eventually catch up to you. They'll give you a
deadline and if you don't pay by then they'll sell your house on the
courthouse steps to the highest bidder who will cover the back taxes.

Tax cheats ARE his business. Who do you think makes up the difference
for what tax cheats don't pay?

The new owner of the property when the city sells it on a tax lien,
usually taxes plus interest.
They don't lose money on taxes unless the property is worth less than
the back taxes and they try to intervene before that. In Florida the
tax man gets his money every year. He just sells the debt. The guy
holding the certificate is the one who ends up with the lien.
