was seized because she owed $15,000 in taxes and fees. But the county sold the home for $40,000 and kept all the proceeds.

Soulless psychopaths. Holy shite.

It still blows my mind that you can pay cash for property, but if you fail to “pay the taxes” you lose the land that you own.

Most of that was fines and interest, not the actual tax. Let's not celebrate her. She was a deadbeat taxpayer. She shouldn't have lost her profit in the property, but she ignored every attempt to settle the bill and allowed it to go on for years before the property was finally seized by the court.

It was based on a depression era state law that stripped ownership interest when one was behind on taxes. The idea that the government or any entity could receive a windfall in a situation like this is indeed nuts.

I do wish they had taken up the Eighth Amendment’s issue regarding the ban on excessive fines which was also at bar, that issue would have had a far more wide-ranging benefit. Gorsuch and Jackson in their concurring opinion mentioned Taylor would have prevailed on that matter as well. I imagine someone will get Cert on that issue relatively soon.
