You have to buy the house from the owner. Only if the state takes the house (for tax delinquency) can you buy it from the state, and if they do that they'll probably auction it.
Contact the owner, and offer to buy it from them. Or, get buddy-buddy with the person in charge of the auction.

After the county has forclosed on the house, they will do a public auction. The county will begin the auction at the amount of taxes owed plus administrative fees.
As it is a public auction, you'll be competing against other potential buyers.

it takes three years, but if you dont pay the taxes now, the state might get it. if the owner decide to pay the taxes, they will pay you back what you payed+10%intrest. go to the courthouse to pay their taxes. remember abter 3 yrs it will belong to whomever pays the taxes!
