The question is often asked, "Hovy long after property is sold for nonpayraent of taxes, before the state gives .the purchaser a ti tl e that wiU stand against the owner's deed or title ?" The answer is, one year. After the sale the owner has one year in which to redeem his property. If he does not redeem it in one year, then the purchaser gets a title from 'the state which is good against any other title for whatever the deed calis for, provided always the proceedlngs in bhe case have been regular. 'ïhe owner must then inake the best terms he can with the tax title holder if he wishes to get back ais property.
