The History of Tax Liens and Tax Foreclosures

Taxes go back to the time of the Romans. And like them or hate them, municipal, State and Federal taxes are a fact of life in a civil society. In fact, there has never been a civil society in the history of the world that didn’t have taxes. Why is that and what’s the relationship between the two?

Property taxes, though we may not like them, typically account for 90% of the funding for municipal services like road repair, education, fire protection and police services. In the towns in which we live – without a property tax base, your city or town will quickly fall into disrepair.
