It has always been so weird to me, and I thought some states didn't have it but apparently they all do. It just blows my mind thinking of a house or land that has been owned for generations and fully paid off can still be taken from you if you hit rock bottom and have no money to pay property tax. Am I misunderstanding? You can be so poor that you aren't allowed to keep your house even if it's fully paid off?
