This sounds complicated and you need a lawyer, not advice from the internet. If someone owes you money from a lawsuit settlement and also owes property taxes, you might be able to put a lien on their property or force a sale to collect what you're owed, but that depends on a lot of specifics. If this is also tied to an illegal eviction and tenant rights violations, that's a separate legal issue with its own process. Talk to a real estate attorney or a tenant rights attorney who can look at your situation and tell you what your actual options are. Don't try to figure this out on your own.
