Tax Liens & Back Taxes — We Buy It

Sell a House With a Tax Lien

Sell a house with a tax lien for cash, as-is — unpaid property taxes, a recorded tax lien, or a looming tax-foreclosure sale date. You do not pay the back taxes upfront; we factor the lien into the offer and clear the payoff at closing. Get a cash offer in 24 hours and close in 2 to 3 weeks.

Behind on Property Taxes? You Still Have Options

Unpaid property taxes don't just pile up — many counties can eventually sell your home at a tax-lien or tax-deed auction. The closer you are to that date, the fewer options you have, so acting early matters.

We buy houses with tax liens directly and handle the lien payoff through the title company at closing, so the debt comes off the property as part of the sale.

Property-Tax Liens

Past-due county property taxes with a recorded lien — we account for the balance and clear it at closing.

Facing a Tax Sale

Got a notice of a tax-lien or tax-deed sale? We can often close fast enough to stop it. Reach out right away.

Back Taxes You Can't Pay

You don't need cash to settle the taxes first — the payoff comes out of the sale proceeds at closing.

Liens Plus Other Issues

Tax lien on a house that also needs repairs or is inherited? We buy the whole situation as-is.

How the Cash Offer Is Calculated

The offer is based on real numbers, not a lowball guess:

After-Repair Value — what the fixed-up house would sell for
minus  Cost of Repairs — our contractor estimate
minus  Holding Costs — taxes, insurance, carrying
minus  Our Minimum Profit
= Your Cash Offer

What to expect: a few quick questions, a no-obligation number, and a close date you choose. No fee, no commission, no pressure.

Often, yes — if there's still time before the sale date. A cash purchase can close quickly enough to satisfy the lien. Contact us as soon as possible so we can assess your timeline.

We'll still look at it. Depending on the numbers and the lien, options like a discounted payoff may be possible. Reach out and we'll give you a straight answer.

It's part of the title work we expect. We deal with liens routinely and resolve them at closing — it doesn't stop the sale.
