Question

What happens to a mortgage on a property that is lost to tax lien? The mortgage holder did not respond to tax sale notifications issued by the County. Is the mortgage extinguished or is the original property owner liable to repay the mortgage?



Answer

The property may be lost to the mortgage holder because of the tax lien. However, the owner is still liable on the mortgage and accompanying note.
