The person who we bought our land contract from is now wanting to take us to court because we have not yet paid our 2012 property taxes. We have lived in the home for 5 years and have always been behind 1 year but have always paid them. I was also told that he filed bankruptcy and want to find out if he included the home or if we are going to loose it.
A: Property Taxes run with the property, regardless of the owner.
To research if he filed, Sign up for PACER, it is a free governmental service, as long as you use less than $15 a calendar quarter. Then sign on at the District Court's Bky Site for the specific district and perform a search. From the Docket you can print copies of the documents and obtain the names/address of all parties of interest.
