How Can I Change Quit Claim Deed to Warranty Deed (County Tax Auction)?
How Can I Change Quit Claim Deed to Warranty Deed (County Tax Auction)?
I purchased a vacant piece of property from a county tax auction, where the previous owner of the property failed to pay the property taxes on the property.
The county issued me a QUIT CLAIM DEED (TREASURER’S DEED).
How can I change the quit claim deed to a Warranty Deed?
What do I have to do?
You can’t. The owner still has that, you need to purchase it from them. The deed you have has released the counties interest in the property to you, you own the debt. You do not own that property and you can’t just change the deed for interest in a property to being for the property itself.
You are not correct, you have not “purchased a vacant piece of property”, you have purchased a tax debt. The land itself is still owned by someone else.
