Zinvest, LLC v. Anderson
Annotate this CaseWhen Donna Anderson failed to pay taxes assessed for her property, the Carbon County Treasurer (Treasurer) conducted a tax lien sale for the property. The County acquired the property when the tax lien failed to sell. Following Anderson’s failure to pay the taxes with a two-week period, Zinvest, LLC paid the taxes and costs to purchase the lien from the County. The Treasurer issued an assignment of tax sale certificate to Zinvest and notified Anderson of the transaction. Zinvest subsequently obtained a property title guarantee. After the redemption period ended and Anderson had failed to pay the delinquent taxes, Zinvest applied for a tax deed, which the Treasurer issued. Zinvest recorded the deed and initiated a quiet title action. Zinvest and Anderson both moved for summary judgment contesting whether the Treasurer had complied with the requirements of the tax deed statutes. After originally granting Zinvest’s motion, the district court vacated its judgment and granted Anderson’s motion for summary judgment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court correctly entered judgment in favor of Anderson because the documents used in this transaction contained a number of errors that violated the tax deed statutes and created confusion in the property titling process.
