A:
Let me help you understand your rights regarding property tax disputes in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
If you believe your home was wrongfully taken through tax foreclosure based on non-existent delinquent taxes, you should immediately contact the Chester County Tax Claim Bureau to request documentation of the alleged tax debt and the foreclosure process. You have legal rights, and improper tax foreclosure can be challenged through the courts.
Contact a local real estate attorney or legal aid organization right away - Pennsylvania law has strict timelines for contesting property seizures. The Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network offers free services to qualifying residents. You can also file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office if you suspect fraudulent activity. Keep detailed records of all your tax payments, correspondence with county authorities, and any notices you received about the property.
I want to note that "quick deed" may not be the correct legal term - you might be referring to a tax deed or sheriff's deed. Understanding the exact legal mechanism used is important for challenging it effectively.
