"The county never wants to see anybody lose their home, but at the same time the tax sale law, the tax real estate law, doesn't give a whole lot of room for error, either," Askar said.

Battisti said her husband handled the paperwork for the property's taxes before he passed away in 2004.

Rules are rules right?

And where does the 6.30 come in?

She had previously owed other taxes, but at the time of the sale she owed just $235, including other interest and fees.



I'm not bothered by this situation. If she was sent multiple notices and apparently it was confirmed that she received them, that is her fault.

I don't know about the law in PA, but in LA, you are given notice well in advance. If you can prove that you weren't given notice, you can annul the sale.

With home ownership comes responsibility. Property taxes aren't a new thing.

This is what happened to over half of my family's homestead during the Great Depression. The family member who had been paying the property taxes to the state died and his wife made a mistake in filing causing her to be less than $3 short. They lost 2/3 of their land as a result. Because of situations like these, Louisiana has it written into their constitution that the state is no longer allowed to do this because of property taxes.

Did her grandson join the PGA tour to raise the money to get the house back?
