Yes of curse, get in touch with your county tax collector's office. Some counties have a combined assessor/collector. They will sell unpaid taxes either at auction sales or on an individual basis.

I couldn't find a national list.  I wanted to say, no state ALLOWS tax on anything.  They REQUIRE collecting tax on certain items/services.  "Allow" implies an option.

You have to look up the Property Tax Authority or County assessor & look up the owners name.  Once you have that look up the county recorder's office to see if you can do an online document search for an recorded deed of trusts for example.  It will show all liens against a person & the document will show show the parcel or operty address its tied too on the document.  Some Counties hold this info private & you may have a hard time getting this (if your in some parts of CA).

I know I am not answering your question, but I do not know a place to send you for the information you are looking for.  I am a Landlord of 23 properties in Florida and I can answer specific questions you may have, to a limit.  Insurance you need to have homeowners Insurance and tell your agent that the house will be a rental, that way you are not paying for all items in the house, unless of course you are renting a furnished unit.  I have no special account, all the monies go into my personal account and all repairs come out of my personal account.  You will pay tax on the profit you make, I am not an accountant so I don't know what your tax implications would be, an accountant can answer that for you.  If you have any other questions please feel free to add details post another question or you can email me through Yahoo Answers.  Good Luck KG

Go to the IRS website and search for Publication 15.  I'm sure that there is a similar publication for California.

I would go online or visit a large book store as they have a variety of books as to real estate investment, the reference to NOLO is also a great resource, especially for California Landlord type references.\n\nYou may wish to contact a real estate brokerage, that has knowledge of investment properties or contact a local commercial brokerage such as a CCIM and see if you could interview a broker that could open a few doors for you.\n\nYou are wise to explore this specialty in real estate.

The local property assessment office should have those records.\n\nYou should always consider Title Insurance before buying, however.

I cannot help you with CA, but even if you lose money in Michigan, the single business tax will bankrupt you, since it is charged on your sales.  It is a hot political issue here and will probably decide the gubinatorial election in "08

The fastest answer is to ask the Realtor to site the law. If you get the run around talk to his/her broker.\n\nIn California I'm not aware of such a law.\n\nAn honest open discussion with your landlord may go along way, especially if they have re-rented the property or can quickly.\n\nBest to you.

Generally yes.  California property tax (since Prop. 13) is fixed based on the last sale price (plus 2% inflation increase per year) unless the property has been "improved," then it is reassessed. Law allows presently only ONE exemption in CA for property taxes, of which one is the Veteran's exemption. This merely reduces the "Assessed Value" on your tax by $7,000.00, applied over the entire tax year. Other exemptions (like disability) reduce it by the same amount, and only one can be claimed per property. Certain persons (former POW's and recipients of the MOH) pay no property taxes in CA--they paid enough for our country.  Check with any California tax attorney for the latest info.  Hope this helps.

WHERE in California are you?  Go to www.MikeRuss.org for locations.  I went to the one in Anaheim, CA to get my Life Agent license, but they also do P&C as well as Real Estate.  Good luck.

Depends on how experienced that person is. It's not that difficult. I'm a CPA in Orange County and can help you, but to be honest, Turbo Tax works great. Things you'll want to have handy is your 1098 from your mortgage company (mortgage interest paid, points paid if any, property taxes paid - unless you paid them yourself instead of through impounds), DMV registration (personal property taxes paid on your car), closing statement from when you bought your house (you may find other property taxes paid that is not included on the 1098). There are other deductions that you may be able to get. Turbo Tax walks your through it. I've attached some links that you should print out and read. Regardless of who does your taxes, you should understand what's going on. :)

the cheapest way to find real-estate is to go to the court house and ask to see who is behind on their back taxes and pay the money owed then you aquire the land; house etc; for that amount.

There are many rates and various exemptions.  Property values can vary so one rate might be lower for an area, but if the same type of property is appraised higher than it would be in the other county, then you pay more taxes.  Not to mention the price of the property.\n\nThe best bet is to just find properties you would like to buy in each county and then look at the prices and taxes for those properties.  With everything tallied up, you can determine what is the best value for your needs.\n\nThe links below show the tax rates for the counties.  My head is still spinning.  Good luck!
