There was one round of Japanese owned properties that went on the auction block, about 6-8 years ago. Most of the back taxes were long past due, much longer than they would be for the usual sales. Maybe there is a specific legal procedure required to auction foreign owned properties, so the county holds them back, does all of the paperwork at once, and then sells all those properties at one time.
Many of the property owners cannot be reached, as they have died, or moved, but it's possible the county still has to show they made an attempt to contact the owner with a registered letter as Carol noted.
