The lender who owns the foreclosure pays the taxes. If they aren't paid, the county takes over the property and sells it at a tax lien sale. The lender loses the house. So it behooves the lender to pay the taxes to protect their asset from seizure. HOWEVER, if you buy the home at a tax lien sale, then the successful bidder pays the back taxes. A tax lien is where the county owns the property, not the lender.<a href="http://www.supersportsstore.com/snowboards-7754"> Dan B</a> Delinquent taxes are not transferred to the new owner.

So the revenue lost for the county. second part, No, new owner will not pay the amount delinquent( not fair for the new owner). If that happened, they may buy a brand new house so they don't have the problem with the taxes.<a href="http://www.bestpricesuits.com/200"> Hoa N</a> first part of the question, Yes people running out of the money to pay for the mortgage, they will run out of money paying taxes too.
