If You Want to Protest Property Taxes, Here’s How – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
Last month, homeowners across North Texas started to receive the dreaded letter in the mail. Now that the shock has worn off, it's time to take action. The clock is ticking if you want to protest your property tax appraisal. In most cases, you have 30 days from the date you received your appraisal to fight it.
It can be a process that requires time, effort and homework, so it's suggested to do it sooner, rather than later.

Department of Human Services Urges Pennsylvanians to File Taxes to Ensure Receipt of Economic
"Pennsylvanians are entitled to this stimulus money, but the only way to be sure that you are receiving the stimulus payments and tax credits you qualify for is to file with the IRS," said Acting Secretary Snead. "Stimulus payments total $3,200 for individuals and more for parents with children. This is a substantial amount of money that can make a difference for people who may be struggling, so don't let the deadline pass without collecting it."
Filing federal taxes informs the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) whether someone did not receive the economic payments they are owed. Pennsylvanians who have not yet received these funds are urged to file taxes with the IRS, regardless of whether they do not typically file, if they do not have any earnings or saw a reduction in earnings in the past year or did not previously qualify for stimulus funds.

How Biden would raise his own taxes
Yes it would, according to Yahoo Finance calculations. As president earning a $400,000 salary, the total tax bill for Joe Biden and his wife Jill would be about $35,000 higher under the Biden tax hike proposals than if nothing changed. If the Bidens earned the same amount as in 2019—their last tax return available—their taxes would be about $15,000 higher under the Biden tax hikes.
The Bidens earned $944,737 in taxable income in 2019, putting them solidly in the top 1% of earners. Most of their income—about $538,000—came from book royalties and related income streams. Joe Biden earned $135,116 from his teaching position at the University of Pennsylvania and $186,001 in federal pensions. Jill Biden earned $73,286 from her community college teaching job. Social Security benefits, interest and a small IRA distribution accounted for the rest.
A house was sold for unpaid taxes. How can I become the owner? - The Washington Post
A: The short answer to your questions is no. You can't simply pay the real estate taxes on a home and then become the owner of that home. At best, you have to follow the taxing authorities delinquent tax legal process to obtain title to the home, which might eventually lead to you owning the property.
Here is a rough outline of the steps you would need to follow to gain ownership of the property. First, find out when the taxing authority holds the tax lien sale. At that tax lien sale, you would make a bid to buy the tax lien. If you win the bid, you would become the tax lien buyer.
