Can real estate be discharged during bankruptcy?

I have a small piece of real estate ( an intown vacant lot with a one car garage) that has at least 7 years worth of back property taxes due on it.

There is no other debt on the property, i.e., mortgages, etc.

I have tried selling / giving the land away but have had no interest.

Will any type of bankruptcy clear this problem away?

Bankruptcy really isn't a good option for this sort of situation, since property taxes are not dischargeable. Normally, with taxes this much in arrears, the property is sold at tax sale.
