Start by contacting your city's treasurer. They should be able to direct you from there.

This is done through what is called a tax deed sale. I have done it once before. What you need to do is pay that person the back tax plus interest ASAP. You must contact the lawyer that sent you the letter letting you know of the transaction & send the payment. Afterwards, they will send you forms returning the property back to you. Keep that form!
Depending on what jurisdiction you are in, as each one has a different time frame, it may not be long before they can evict you from what is now their property.

Contact the tax commissioner's office, and find out what the pay off is for the tax certificate (it will be more than the taxes) and pay that amount to the tax collector. Get a receipt! You have a limited time to do this, so do it now.

I think you have 6 months to pony up the back taxes yourself and get it back. I'd agree to contact the city/county tax people, most cities/counties you can google the name and get a website with contact info. They will be the ones to say for sure.

You can get it back, by paying the back taxes yourself - if you act within one year. After a year, you are out of luck. Your local tax collection office will be the place to start.

Buy it from them. You are out of luck. Should have paid the taxes when you had the chance.
