Is forfeiture the same as foreclosure? 3 Answers as of November 16, 2010

Generally, a forfeiture action is begun to assert a lien against your house in an effort to collect taxes. A foreclosure action is begun to force the sale of your home to pay liens against the home. You should not wait to address this issue any longer. Contact a tax attorney to see what options you may have to protect yourself and your home.

It means that they are going to assert a lien against your house to collect taxes. Foreclosure is different as it means you failed to make your mortgage payments and the mortgage can bring action in court to take your property.

Put a lien against your home and foreclose the lien by a court ordered sale.
