Hello,
You may not put a lien on the property that you own.
Your avenue to recovery is actually a lawsuit against your sister to recover the value of the property taxes IF AND ONLY IF there is an existing contract that states she is responsible for them.
A rent to own deal means that you are still the owner of record thus still responsible for payment of the property taxes without an agreement that would make the rent-to-owner responsible for payment of the taxes.
