Common Challenges When Selling a Tax Lien Property
Growing Penalties and Interest: Fresno County adds 10% penalties plus 1.5% monthly interest on delinquent property taxes, and the balance grows quickly. Tax Sale Deadline: After five years of delinquency, the county can sell your property at a tax sale auction, and you lose everything. Cannot Refinance or Sell Traditionally: Tax liens cloud your title, making it nearly impossible to get a mortgage or complete a traditional sale without paying the full tax debt first. Redemption Period Running Out: California gives homeowners a limited window to pay delinquent taxes before the property is sold. Once the window closes, your options disappear. Fixed Income Pressure: Many homeowners on fixed incomes or facing financial hardship simply cannot catch up on back taxes while keeping up with current bills. Loss of Your Equity: If the county sells your home at a tax auction, you may lose tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in home equity that you have built over years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy my house if it has a tax lien?
Yes. We purchase homes with tax liens regularly. The delinquent taxes, penalties, and interest are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, and you receive the remaining equity.
What if I owe several years of back taxes?
We buy homes regardless of how much is owed in back taxes. Whether it is one year or five years of delinquent taxes, we handle the payoff at closing.
Will I get any money from the sale?
In most cases, yes. Your home's market value is typically much higher than the tax debt. After the liens are paid at closing, the remaining proceeds go to you.
How close to the tax sale deadline can I sell?
The sooner the better, but we have closed on properties within days of a scheduled tax sale. Contact us as early as possible so we have time to complete the transaction before the deadline.
