Answer:
The answer will depend on the nature of the claim that caused the foreclosure, such as whenther there were taxes or other assessments due, the property was deemed abandoned, or there were safety or health concerns involved. Foreclosure is possible when taxes are due and remain unpaid. A lien is a legal claim against real property for unpaid property taxes, water, sewer or other property charges, as well as the interest due on these taxes and charges. When the lien remains unpaid, the city may foreclose on the property to collect the amounts owed under the lien.
Typically, in a foreclosure,the owner of the property must be given notice of the pending foreclosure. There are certain situations when a property owner's rights to notice may be shortened or waived, such as when there are emergency conditions that pose a threat to health and safety. I suggest you contact a local attorney wo can review all the facts and documents involved.
