My grandfather would like to give me land. A bit less than 1 acre. He has the deed. Problem is. He hasn't paid the taxes on it in close to 45 years, and the land is still in his grandfather's name according to the auditors website.
Delinquent taxes are 14k. Auditors website states the land is worth a little over 5k.
Any ideas on how I can aquire this? Preferably without paying the entire 14k in Delinquent taxes.
A family member wants to gift me land with unpaid back taxes.

Honestly sounds like your grandfather is trying to gift you a 14k debt lol. You might want to check if the county has already started tax foreclosure proceedings or if there’s some kind of payment plan option, but with taxes that far behind I’d be shocked if they haven’t already moved to seize it
Wow! 45 years?! By missed payment 3 (billed biannually) you’re in tax foreclosure.
