Exclusive Practice Area

Zacchaeus is the only North Carolina firm that exclusively represents units of local government, providing both mortgage-style and in rem tax foreclosure services. Tax foreclosures are all we do, and we provide a complete service, so that your tax office can process all its delinquent parcels.

Case Results

Zacchaeus Legal Service has foreclosed on tens of thousands of parcels with remarkable results, both in terms of amounts collected and low cost. Zacchaeus is the state-wide leader in providing this service to counties, cities and towns.

We are Organized with Your Work in Mind

At Zacchaeus, we administer your tax foreclosure program by dividing up the steps in the process and assigning each to a group. These include Title Search, Doc Prep and Settlement, Certified Mail, Skip-Trace, Court and Sales, Auditing, Business Office, Legal, and Management Groups. Each group is responsible for a set of highly specialized tasks which aids in the speed of settlement and quality-control.

Experience, Quality and Scalability

With 40 years of experience Zacchaeus Legal Services can handle both mortgage-style and in rem foreclosures with care. For four decades there has not been a single challenge to one of our sales, not a single malpractice claim nor successful grievance before the State Bar. And our services are scalable, as we represent very small rural towns and very large highly-urbanized counties in our practice, yielding millions of dollars of previously uncollectable revenue for our clients.
