How delinquent must property taxes be for one to pay back property taxes to take ownership of a property?
Probably interested in Marion County Florida area.
Each county has their own programs about property tax liens and the procedure in which they work.
Some counties will allow a 2 year period to elapse before they will sell a tax lien to an individual.
In order to get the correct information you should contact the county in which you want to purchase the delinquent tax lien.
Purchasing the delinquent tax lien does not give you the property immediately nor does it mean you have access to the property as most counties have a redemption period.
Some counties will allow the homeowner a year in which to redeem the tax lien while others only allow 6 months, to bring the taxes current plus pay any interest that has accrued on the delinquent taxes.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you,good luck.
