no. a lien and mortgage are 2 separate things. a lien cant force ownership change...it just mandates payment when the mortgage or deed changes.
Now if you can buy the mortgage or get the owners to deed it to you (if its paid off) thats a different story.
look at the trust deed to see if a default in paying the taxes IS a default on the trust deed.
If you can buy the note/TD, you could force the foreclosure.
Well, it sorta depends on what state you are in. In some states you can purchase the delinquent tax certificate. Then you can foreclose on the taxes. Tax foreclosure practices vary widely.
