Behind on taxes or facing a lien

Sell land with back taxes, and we clear them at the closing.

Delinquent property taxes, a code lien or unpaid dues do not stop you selling, and you do not pay them off first. We buy the land for cash, the title company pays the county out of the sale, and you walk away clear before it ever reaches a tax sale.

Key takeaways

  • No need to clear it first. You do not have to pay delinquent taxes before you sell. They come out of the sale proceeds at closing, so the debt is paid from the price, not your pocket.
  • Beat the tax sale. Selling before a tax deed or lien auction usually nets more than losing the parcel at auction, where it often goes for the taxes owed and nothing more.
  • More than taxes can clear. Code liens, unpaid POA or HOA dues and some judgments can be settled the same way at closing, as long as they surface in the title search.
  • Value first, debt netted out. The offer is built on the land's value, then what is owed is netted against it. Seeing both numbers in writing tells you whether the sale clears the debt with money left over.
  • Penalties only grow. Each year of unpaid tax adds penalties and interest. The longer a delinquent parcel sits, the more the debt eats any equity, which argues for moving sooner.

You can still sell land that owes back taxes

Most owners behind on taxes assume they are stuck, that they have to find the money to clear the county first before anyone will touch it. You do not.

We buy the parcel as it is. The back taxes are paid from your sale proceeds at the closing table, and selling now, while you still own it, keeps the value in your pocket instead of losing the whole parcel at a tax auction for a fraction of its worth.

What happens if land taxes go unpaid

The clock you are racing, in plain terms

Unpaid land taxes do not just sit there. They follow a process that, left long enough, can cost you the parcel entirely. Knowing where you are on it helps you act in time.

01

The county places a tax lien

Once taxes go delinquent, the county attaches a lien to the parcel for what is owed, plus interest and penalties.

02

It can be sold at a tax sale

After a set period, which varies by state, the lien or the deed itself can be sold to an investor at a public tax sale.

03

You can lose the land for very little

At that point the parcel can be taken for a fraction of its real value, wiping out your equity in it.

04

Selling now beats the clock

A cash sale before that date turns the parcel into money in your hand instead of a loss.

Before it reaches the tax sale

Turn a tax problem into a clean cash sale.

If the parcel owes back taxes, dues or a lien, send it over. We will check the timeline, give you a written offer, and clear what is owed through the closing.

Selling land with back taxes, answered

What owners behind on taxes ask us most, with no spin.

Do I have to pay the back taxes before I sell?

No. This is the single biggest myth about land with delinquent taxes. The amount owed is paid to the county out of your sale proceeds at closing, so it never comes out of your pocket up front.

How much gets deducted for the back taxes?

Exactly what the county is owed, no more. The title company requests an official payoff figure from the county and pays it directly at closing, and you see the full breakdown before you sign.

My county sent a tax sale notice. Is it too late?

Usually not, but timing matters. As long as the land has not yet been sold at the tax sale, we can often close in time to pay the county and put the remaining cash in your hands. Send it to us quickly so we can check the date.

What about code liens or unpaid POA dues?

Those are handled the same way. Code enforcement liens, unpaid road or POA dues and similar charges are settled through the closing so the buyer takes clean title and you walk away clear.
