If your house is sold for back taxes, you need to find out if this was a private sale. If it was a private sale, there really is no chance to redeem. You need to contact the taxing authority to see what occurred. If the house has a lien and a foreclosure is going to occur, you can redeem up to the foreclosure date.
Talk to a housing counselor about the status of your current loan.
