Anyone know???

[Struggling11]

Anyone know if we are responsible for back taxes (property & school) if we are being foreclosed? Filed Chapter 7, Discharged and Closed. Did not Reaffrim mortgage. We do not escrow our taxes and are not able to pay what is owed.

Do we have to pay them? Can the county come after us legally???

Please anyone????

If I am not mistaken, the taxes go with the house. So wither the bank or new owners would incur those. I am not positive though.

Search through the threads for property taxes - or look at foreclosure threads. Good info on these.

Hi Struggling,

Property/school/special district/etc taxes usually attach to the property, not the owner. If the house is being foreclosed, don't pay the taxes. Whoever buys the property will have to pay the taxes.

One thing off your plate...
