Last Straw in Guilford County, NC
Two years behind on tax and a lien or foreclosure case on top. This is the stage before the county or a lender takes steps; owners here have a clock running. It counts the county's own delinquency, lien and foreclosure records. It does not say how a case will end.
Every layer has to be true
- Tax is past due for 2 or more years
- A tax lien or a foreclosure case is on record
A property is counted only when all 2 are true at once.
