    Question Will a Property Lien Spare Me from Personally Paying Land Taxes

    My question involves collection proceedings in the States of: Pennsylvania and New York.

    I owe monies to both the State of PA (past unemployment) and the State of New York (back owed child support.) I have been deeded a "rather worthless" piece of land TODAY by my family in my home state of Texas that has not been appealing enough for public sale for at least 30 years.

    Am I better off simply offering this piece of land for seizure to either state I owe monies to? Will the Lien placed on the piece of land make me exempt from paying taxes on it and so forth once it is seized? ( I am hoping it would.) The land is of no use to me whatsoever except as a means of paying off debts.

    no. You would continue to owe taxes on the property as long as you own it.

    what makes you think they would accept it? You are speaking of land that apparently has no value more than half way across the country from the states you owe money to. They are not going to be interested in the land.

    If you think it has some value, sell it and use the proceeds to pay your debts.
