The Redemption period is probably past, but the alleged owner may only have a Bill of Sale, not a Deed. An Ejectment Action may be possible. The legal description should... View More

Otherwise hire an attorney to figure out what is going on. It may not be a Citation but a Notice of Suspension from DOS due to an... View More

You are probably exempted from the capital gains tax as you were 55 during the last 5 years of living there as your home. But you still have to report the sale, and you might not meet the one time exclusion because of your age. Check IRS Publication 523.

That should be the "Wheel Tax" which is levied in many, but not all, Counties. It is part of the Registration Fees each year. Take a copy of your VA Decision Letter (and probably a DD 214 also) to the County Clerk for your next Registration. If applicable, it should save you some money.
But they continue to add a $29,000 manufactured home to my property taxes each year. What else can I do?
