Yes, that is what a tax sale is.. If the house is in foreclosure due to tax liens. You must contact the person forclosing on the property and pay the taxes. The owner has a time limit in which they have to pay-up or lose it.. so after that.. You pay, its yours. EDIT: You will also be responsible for the payments too. If someone is going to lose a home because of tax liens, then they are probably behind in payments too. If the mortgage forcloses before the tax liens, then you will have to pay both. Mortgage forclosures are usually the full amount owed, not just catching up payments.. but if mortgage is not forclosing, then making the catch up payments will do the trick.. There may be many liens on the home, and taxes are the only ones forclosing, so be aware that you will be responsible for all liens after that.
