If we couldn’t pay our taxes and now there is a court date to sell our land, what do we do/expect?

We sold a truck and now have the money. I need to know what to do. Can we just pay the taxes? The tax office won’t take the money because it has gone to a lawyers office but we can’t get a call back from them. What do we need to do before the court date? Do we need a lawyer? Can we pay it before then and end this mess?
