A county property-tax account or tax-sale notice is not a lender’s mortgage- foreclosure case. Use the county tax office and any court details on a tax notice to check that matter; use the lender or court named on mortgage-foreclosure papers for that case. A date or status in one process does not establish the status of the other.
