Is it possible for non US citizens who also don't live in the US, like myself to buy tax lien certificates?

Anyone can buy a tax lien certificate. There are some countries not allowed to due business in the USA.

So being based in the Netherlands (member of EU) that wouldn't be a problem?
Norbertw Your going to come all the way from the Netherlands to buy tax liens?
When you get to a tax lien sale you are asked for a federal tax payer id # or a social security # for bidding.
So if you can get a federal tax payer id # then you should be able to bid.
But if you plan on making a killing at a high interest rate you better plan on going to a lot of sales. These bidders are bidding down to 0% & putting up thousand's of dollars extra just on a $1,500 to $3,000 lien.
Every state, county, & city is different so you would have to check with each of them.
