Reply to comment by FormerHoagie in Construction Workers blocking parking ? by Jolly-Cheek5779

The house next to me has been 2+ years. No permits and they don’t pay taxes on it either. The contractors suck and I think the owner stops paying them because they show up for 2 weeks and never come back.

The city is definitely still charging taxes. It doesn’t work that way. Why don’t you confront the owner?

Oh I know I looked it up on atlas. They’re just not paying them.

They will eventually. City will put a lien on the house. The taxes don’t go away.

They don’t go after everything. Two houses near me have been delinquent on taxes for over 20 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They can’t sell the property without paying the taxes. The city isn’t in the business of making people homeless but the taxes don’t just disappear.

They get settled at closing. That’s not the same as paying your taxes like a normal person. 😐

Sounds like you belong in a HOA. Your neighbor not paying their taxes is between them and the city. The city will eventually get its money and it’s none of your business. It doesn’t effect you. Now, give me another downvote.
