Homeowner lost her paid off house for $2600 in unpaid property taxes

A recent article on MassLive details the saga of a Worcester homeowner who  paid off her home's mortgage in 2015 (after only 19 years) and in 2019 missed one property tax payment. She didn't realize she'd missed the payment and kept paying her taxes normally. Then one day she found that the home had been sold through a foreclosure tax sale to a private lien harvesting company, Tallage, which paid about $20,000 for the house.These companies that buy homes in tax foreclosure love to find houses with no mortgage, as they resell and make a huge profit without having to pay the bank.The Worcester homeowner is fighting the taking and a recent US Supreme Court ruling makes it likely that she will get to keep her home and not owe Tallage the $70,000 they're asking her to pay to get ownership back.Read the whole article here: She lost her home over a tax bill
