Check the office of Tax Records for whatever area you're looking for.
Look in your local newspapers legal classifieds for public sale or auctions on the courthouse steps.'

You don't.
The liens are paid off at closing from the seller's proceeds and discharges or redemptions are recorded so that you can have clear title.
Are you thinking of buying tax sale certificates? You don't buy the house ... you buy the taxes and the owner has time (years in some cases) to redeem the certificates and remove the lien.

Check online to see if your County Appraiser's office has a website. Search by address.
Contact a realtor - I definitely don't recommend you do this yourself, too many legal papers.
Be prepared to pay those back taxes + the upcoming ones. And don't have high expectations for the condition of the property.
