What does the buyer of a foreclosure sale take on?
  • Junior liens named in the case are cleared. The sale cuts off liens recorded after the foreclosed mortgage when their holders were defendants.
  • Older liens stay. A mortgage or judgment recorded before the foreclosed mortgage survives. So do liens whose holders were left out of the case.
  • Taxes and assessments stay. Unpaid property taxes, tax certificates and assessments on the tax bill, including PACE, follow the property (F.S. 197.122, 163.08).
  • Federal liens. If the United States is a defendant, it can redeem the property for 120 days after the sale (28 U.S.C. 2410).
