Tax lien is superior to all other liens so if, under your state law, you can acquire the tax lien, then using it, foreclose on the property, it’s likely that all lenders would lose their security positions.

Every state has its own distinctive law on delinquent RE taxes and how they’re handled, so you need to read and understand YOUR state law.

In my experience, most tax office personnel know some, but far from all their own tax law, so you should not rely on their advice.

I was told by the tax office that if I pay property tax on a parcel offered for tax sale I can obtain the deed, but now I read no this is not so. How do I obtain title if I pay deliquent property tax that was deliquent for 5 years in a row. Is the mortgage company the ist lien holder or does the mortgage get written off?
