More details to this question:
I sold a property owner financed three to four years ago and I found out recently when I was served papers that they have never paid property tax. They have now paid half of this year but still owe the previous three years and according to our contract they were supposed to be current with their taxes and it was up to them to make everything was paid. At what point can I take them to court over this where I can get the property back?

You have 4 years to sue, under the civil statute of limitations, assuming that payment of proerty taxes was a requirement under the sale contract, from the date the property taxes were not paid, or from the date you knew or should have known they were not paid.
