Abstract
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether selling a tax-forfeited property to satisfy a tax debt and keeping the surplus value violates the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause in the absence of any state-created property right to that surplus value. 2. Whether a tax forfeiture of a property worth more than needed to satisfy its tax debt, plus interest, penalties, and costs, is a “fine” within the meaning of the Eighth Amendment.
