Well, yes you can pay the back taxes,but after that you still have to get a mortgage because paying the back taxes does not get you the deed or title. The property still has to be 'owned' by someone. You still have to buy it.

Maybe if you posted an actual question instead of just a title, we could help more.

Paying the taxes will not get you ownership, if that's what you are asking. All you will be accomplish is doing the owner a favor.

Paying back taxes do not give you ownership, unless it is bought at a tax sale, at the auction the property may sell for the tax amount, or a lot more, it sells to the highest bidder.

Even then they have a redemption period
