Mike Kalob Tax Collector doesn't want me to Purchase Subsequent Lien?
23 June 2014 | 7 replies
I just purchased a water lien at a tax sale.4 months later, I confirmed water bills are STILL unpaid by the homeowner, and I have confirmed the $$ amount owned, but I have tried unsuccessfully to pay this water lien AND ADD it to my current Tax Certificate (recorded from the county).Whenever I speak to the Tax Collector, she says yes I can pay it, but when I tell her I want to pay it ONLY to add the balance to my outstanding Tax Certificate balance owed so I can collect 18% on the new amount paid, she looks at me like I have two heads.My assumption was it was possible to add new outstanding liens to my previous Tax Sale purchase.
