Know what you are buying!
This guy is challenging his purchase in court but I suspect the judge will dimiss his suit.

No one would ever buy a property without doing due diligence, would they ? Tax ID's are associated with properties at tax sales. Why would any want to match a tax id with a property ? What could go wrong ? I guess the .0005 acre property size on the tax sales sheet was not enough of a clue.
@Brian Van Pelt one minute could have saved him thousands.
@Nathan G. That’s unfortunate, ouch. Thanks for sharing. This is why doing your homework beforehand is so important.

I don't know, Tiny homes are the in thing. Right ?

@Nathan Gesner Yeah I had to just SMH when I first saw this locally. This popped up on BP a few weeks ago. I couldn’t post the screenshots from my IPad, but on the actual online bid site were pull down links to the property appraiser......
The aerial clearly shows just a solid blue line between two villas, not a rectangle showing a regular lot, dimensions given were 1’x 50’, 50 sf, tax Land value of like $300, Building Value $0.
So yeah, it Must be the county’s fault......
