Delinquent property taxes don't have to block your sale. We buy houses with tax liens and settle the debt at closing — you don't pay anything out of pocket.
Many homeowners assume that a property tax lien makes selling impossible, or that they need to pay it off before they can do anything. That's not true. Tax liens are paid at closing — the title company withholds the amount owed from the proceeds and pays the county directly. You don't need to write a check first.
We buy houses with outstanding tax liens in Houston and Montgomery County regularly. As long as there's enough equity in the property to cover what's owed, the process is straightforward.
Time matters with tax liens. In Texas, counties can eventually foreclose on a property for unpaid taxes — and the process can move faster than mortgage foreclosure. If you've received notices from the county or a tax lien holder, it's worth getting an offer soon to understand your options while you still have them.
If the delinquent taxes plus any mortgage balance exceed what the home is worth, the situation is more complex and may require negotiation with the lienholders. We can still evaluate the property and tell you honestly whether a cash sale makes sense or if you need to explore other options. We'd rather give you a straight answer than waste your time.
