How should I go about filing an exception on my property to be sold for taxes?
There is a decree going to be entered to sell my property to be sold free and clear of their respective claims, liens, mortgages and ground rents. However, I can file an exception but I am not sure how to go about doing this.

In the real esate field an "exception" with respect to real property is when a person sells real property but carves out something that is already in existence that is tied to the given property such as an easement that benefits a particular parcel to be sold to a third person. In such a situation, the seller keeps the easement but sells the property.
If your property is going to be sold for back taxes, there really is not any "exception" that you can legally record on the property and retain when the property is sold at the tax sale. Anything you try and record on the property at this point in time could be deemed void by the court. I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney further about your question.
