You can find a list of tax sales at your town hall.Just so you know its not like you pay the taxes and own the home. They have one year to pay you back, with interest and redeem their rights to the home. Most the time if there is a mortgage on the property the mortgage co will pay the taxes, then foreclose. they have to much invested into the property to let you buy it for a back tax.
Good Luck,

If you can't or don't pay your real estate taxes, the county takes a tax lien against your property. Each year you fail to pay them up, the lien grows. At some point, the county can order the sale of your property by the sheriff. When that happens, it must be make public and at that point, you can bid against anyone else wanting to buy the property at auction.

You'll have to wait until the owners put it on the market for sale or when the governing authority sells it to satisfy the tax lien, which may be a long, long time. Or you could approach them and tell of your eagerness to purchase.

Make a low offer to them including paying the back taxes!
