First, as I assume you know you're going to need a RE attorney to do a quiet title action, to clear out any mtg's, heirs, etc. You normally receive the tax deed right there when you pay in full, in most counties. It doesn't matter who says they have what deed or whatever. As long as the clerk of court did the proper notifications (99% of the time they do) you'll be fine. You can't have clear/insurable title until after you complete the quiet title though. Also, there may be the past couple of years in property taxes due too. Check on that so someone else doesn't buy your property at the tax deed auction later! There is no "two years to claim". I do assume you really bought at the Tax Deed auction, Not the Tax Certificate auction, right?
