Escrow & Title
A Pennsylvania title company issuing an owner's policy on a property purchased at a tax sale would typically require:
AOnly verification that taxes were paid
BExamination of the entire tax sale process for compliance with statutory requirements, possible quiet title action✓ Correct
CAutomatic coverage since tax sales are state-supervised
DOnly the tax claim bureau's receipt
Explanation
Tax sales carry significant title risk — procedural defects in notice, advertisement, or bidding can render the sale voidable. Title companies carefully review the entire tax sale process and may require a quiet title action to clear any potential defects before issuing a clean owner's policy on tax sale properties.
