real estate property taxes

[kgreen500]

If you surrender a property and do not pay your property taxes are they wiped out when the lender takes back the property even if you owe more than the property is worth - California

Property taxes flow with the property. Thus, when real estate is foreclosed, the taxes become the responsibility of the foreclosing entity. However, until you file BK, the foreclosing entity can pursue you for those unpaid taxes.

Are you stating that if the property is foreclosed on they can still collect on the property taxes after the fact.

what about mechanics liens as well. can the creditor come after you personally and recieve a judgment against you.
