I just purchased this property, and the tax statement you sent me shows delinquent taxes owing, am I responsible for paying those?

Taxes follow the property, not the taxpayer. The county does not foreclose on people, only parcels. It is your responsibility to ascertain the condition of taxes prior to purchase.
