In order to continue with the sale, the taxing agency will need to ask the Bankruptcy Court to lift the automatic stay to proceed with the foreclosure.

The income from the rental will be given to the pastor for a housing allowance. Would this count as a "religious use" so they can remain tax-exempt for state property tax purposes?
answered on May 20, 2023
The income from the rental would be unrelated business taxable income. The income is 1. from a trade or business; 2. regularly conducted; and 3. not substantially related to their exempt purpose.
A Form 990 would need to be filed and tax paid on the UBIT.

It depends on what your decree says. This is an aspect generally covered in a parenting plan. If not, Colorado statute says that the exemptions are taken in proportion to income so if you each make the same amount of income, then you would alternate every year.
