Q: My mortgage company (with escrow) did not pay my property taxes and property was sold at tax sale. What is my recourse?
My original loan provided paid taxes on both lots listed on the deed. A third party then bought my loan and in the escrow account they only paid taxes on one of the lots on my property. The other lot went unpaid for a year and then was sold at a tax sale.
I understand I have a redemption period to resolve this with, but I would like to know if I have any grounds for suing the mortgage company for negligence.
This is in NJ. Thank you
