Hi lbd!
Welcome to forums!
If you pay off the taxes, then I don't think your home will be affected. The delinquent amount charged to you will also be liable for a tax warrant filed. Tax warrants are a kind of liens which can be placed against real or personal property. Your wages can also be garnished. These liens are public records and will also affect your credit rating. If the balance is outstanding, the future state and federal tax refunds are subject to offset this balance. You will either have to pay off the taxes or you may go for the petition of compromise.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Public Records such as judgements do not affect your credit score. I wanted to clarify that. Lenders may require you to pay them off before obtaining a new loan though.
