BEHIND ON PROPERTY TAXES
Behind on Property Taxes? Sell Before Penalties Eat Your Equity
California property tax debt compounds fast — 10% penalty per missed installment, then 1.5% per month once defaulted. After five years, the county can sell the property at tax auction. The debt only moves one direction, but so does the solution: a sale clears everything at once.

How We Help
When we buy your home, every lien on title gets paid through escrow at closing: back property taxes, penalties, IRS or state tax liens, code enforcement fines, contractor liens, HOA arrears. You don't write checks to anyone — the title company disburses payoffs from the sale proceeds and the remainder comes to you.
Liens scare off traditional buyers and their lenders; they're routine for us. Title work surfaces the exact payoff figures, we show you the complete breakdown — sale price, each payoff, your net — before you commit to anything.
If you're approaching the five-year default mark or have received a notice of impending tax sale, move now. A tax auction wipes out your equity entirely; selling first preserves it.

Common Questions — Behind on Property Taxes
Do I have to pay the taxes before selling?+
No. Taxes and penalties are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. You bring nothing to the table.
What if the liens are more than the house is worth?+
That's rare in Southern California's market, but if it happens we'll tell you straight and discuss options — sometimes lien negotiation, sometimes a short sale path. Honest answer either way.
Can you stop a county tax sale?+
If we can close before the auction date, yes — paying the defaulted taxes through escrow cancels the sale. Timing is critical; call us with the date.
