Kevin Fair of Scottsbluff , Nebraska , has been involved in a legal dispute since 2018 .

He lost title to the home he had owned for nearly three decades for failing to pay $ 588 in overdue property taxes.

Scotts Bluff County sold the lien to a private investor, who paid the home's taxes for three years .

When Fair couldn't repay the money, the title went to the investor, though Fair was allowed to stay in the home.

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled against Fair in 2022 , but a year later , the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the state court to reconsider.
