A: I'm really sorry to hear about what you’re going through. Losing your home in a tax sale is tough, especially after such a challenging accident. Since it's been over a year, the window to reclaim your property is likely closed, but it's still worth reaching out to your local tax office to discuss your situation.

You might also consider consulting with a legal professional who can help you understand any possible options based on your specific circumstances. They can advise if there are any exceptions or steps you can take to address the loss.

Meanwhile, looking into support services or financial assistance programs could help you navigate this difficult time and work towards securing stable housing again.
