After receiving no notice, a Georgia woman finds her condo was sold at an auction due to an unpaid tax bill of less than $100.
A woman in Georgia is pleading with city officials to be allowed to keep her home after it was foreclosed on and sold at an auction — because of an unpaid tax bill of $94.85
Xui Lui from Norcross, Ga., said not only was she unaware that her condo had been sold at an auction; she also claimed she never received any communication informing her about the sale in the first place.Despite her several pleadings, officials are preparing to evict her by Thanksgiving.
Country records show Lui paid her taxes every year except the year she moved in. However, the demands for that one missed payment never reached her due to a clerical error — the envelope included no name or street.
