What happens after the filing of the tax foreclosure lawsuit?

Defendants have 30 days to file a written answer to the complaint if they wish. Depending on the answers filed by the defendant, the attorney will move for a judgment of sale. Once a judgment of sale is entered, the property is scheduled for sale at the Wayne County Courthouse in Goldsboro.
