Therefore the owner of the house has a certain period of time from the date of sale to come up with the taxes owed plus interest and they must pay you those taxes and interest. You then release the lien on the home.
If they do not pay the taxes and interest in that period of time you then go back to court and take possession of the property. After all of this is said and done you can then evict the tenant.
Until the redemption period ends you cant do anything to evict the tenants who live there now.
**A: to the writer; the process is called the right of redemption.
