<p>One other way of stating the issue: There is no personal
liability for real property taxes, only in rem. So that would be
another argument that the collection couldn't be enforced in this
manner. They can't force anyone to pay, they can only enforce
their lien rights.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Did the trustee
sell and convey an interest to the buyer unencumbered by the
“open space” designation? My first thought is I don’t think
the county can force the buyer of an unencumbered interest
to agree to this designation. Maybe they can impose a
tax??,…but I agree that the tax collection recourse is by
lien.

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates. Your wisdom is sought. Facts –
trustee sells property at auction. Buyer pays trustee.
Trustee prepares trustee’s deed but county refuses to record
it because land is open space and County is demanding signing
of a continuation of open space use or payment of all the back
taxes as a condition of recording. Lender wants their money
but trustee can record the deed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seems to me that the deed should be
recorded and County can attach their lien for taxes. The only
requirement to pay taxes as a condition of recording that I am
aware of is when dividing land, like a BLA. Thoughts ? I am
guessing that once again the treasurer is exceeding their
authority. <o:p></o:p></p>
