Not Montana, they are big on paying taxes.
In this case a rural ranch development in Wyoming failed to take off. At least one lot was sold but since none of the roads and none of the utilities were ever constructed the lot was isolated. The lot owner cut bait and quit paying taxes and the sheriff sold the lot for I think it was $5 or something. Anyway the situation lingered for a couple of decades until the lot owner decided to build and needed to construct a road.?ÿ
Then it went to court, the surrounding ranch claiming possession and won.?ÿ
I spoke with several legislators on this to no avail.
Part of the problem, and I'm guilty as most; not enough people voice their opinion on such matters. We're either too busy, don't think it will do any good, and we're just wasting our breath...
Contact your political leaders and let them know how you fell. If enough people fill their inbox, it might do some good.

Now I see what really happened.?ÿ Ignoring your possessions for decades is not a very bright idea.
I believe in some cases the sheriff's deed won't transfer title since the property is already in possession. At least that was what happened with the parcel I was involved with. And if you think about it many in arrears tracts may be in the same situation. This of course will vary by state.?ÿ
