[StBernard] property tax

[Westley Annis]

My husband was in the Sheriff's office today paying the tax on a house that
we owner financed.  The family that owns it now didn't pay the tax bill.  He
was told that if the tax isn't paid by June than the properties are fair
game.  We didn't want to lose out on the money stilled owed us on the house,
so we paid the taxes.  Second notices were about to be mailed out.  The
original notices were sent in November, due December 31st.  I'll never owner
finance again!

This current issue of the Voice has a huge section of property owners who
have not paid their 2006 property taxes. I saw addresses for properties that
are marked for demolition, so I wouldn't expect them to worry about not
paying their property tax. I saw the same owners over and over again for
apartments and commercial properties which makes me wonder if they plan to
walk-away as well. 

Would these properties then have liens placed on them for non-payment until
the owners tried to sell out, or would they go to a sheriff's sale. It sure
is a lot of property. ddk
