A: CH 13 bankruptcy might cure the tax problem. Or you might want to quickly sell it to someone if you have title. Even Redemption might be a problem later if you do not have a clear title.

A:
You may be able to avoid losing your home by contacting the local tax office to explain your situation. Ask if there is a payment plan or other relief options available to help you manage the tax debt. Many counties have programs in place for those facing financial hardship, and they may be willing to work with you to avoid auctioning your home.
Consider reaching out to local legal aid organizations or community services that can offer guidance or financial assistance. Sometimes, there are nonprofit programs that assist homeowners in these situations, especially if you're at risk of homelessness. Getting in touch with these organizations quickly can provide some relief or more time.
Additionally, if there are any family members or friends who can lend support, this might be a time to seek their help. Gathering the necessary funds to make a partial payment may give you some breathing room while you work on a longer-term solution.
