Every Type of Tax Lien — We've Bought Through It
Most traditional buyers walk away the moment they see a tax lien in title search. We don't. We have a process for every type of encumbrance, and our title company clears it at closing so you walk away free and clear.
Delinquent Property Taxes
One year or ten years behind — it doesn't matter. County tax liens are paid in full from your proceeds at closing. You never write a check.
IRS Federal Tax Liens
Federal liens follow the property. Our title company contacts the IRS directly to obtain a lien release or discharge, so title transfers clean.
HOA Liens & Arrears
Missed HOA payments create liens that block traditional sales. We handle HOA payoffs as part of closing — no negotiation required on your end.
Judgment Liens
Court judgments, contractor mechanic's liens, child support liens — all attachable to real property. We work through the payoff process so you can close.
What Happens to the Back Taxes at Closing
Here's the process in plain language — no jargon, no surprises.
We Pull the Title Report
Once we have your address, we order a title search and identify every lien, judgment, and tax balance attached to the property.
We Calculate the Payoffs
We contact each lienholder — the county tax office, IRS, HOA, or court — and get exact payoff balances. This becomes part of the closing statement.
Liens Clear at Closing
The title company pays every lienholder directly from the sale proceeds. You receive whatever remains — cash in hand, no debt, free and clear.
Back Tax Sales — Straight Answers
Do I need to pay the back taxes before selling?
No. You never have to come out of pocket. The tax lien balance is deducted from the sale proceeds at closing. Your net check reflects what's left after all liens are cleared.
What if I owe more in taxes than the house is worth?
Call us anyway. In some situations there are negotiated settlements with the taxing authority or short-sale-style payoffs. We'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Will the county come after me after I sell?
No. Once the tax lien is paid at closing and the deed transfers, your personal liability is extinguished. The county has no further claim against you.
How long does this take vs. a traditional sale?
A traditional buyer's lender will reject financing the moment a tax lien surfaces in title. With us, the process typically adds 3–5 business days to gather payoff statements — we can still close in 10–14 days in most cases.
