How payoffs work
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Closing costs and amounts owed against the property are separate. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are not covered by our closing-cost payment; the current amounts are confirmed for the settlement.
A lien is a claim that can affect the property or money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or office to resolve that claim. A mortgage payoff, a lien balance, and a property-tax balance are different amounts; one notice does not confirm the others.
The loan servicer or lienholder confirms its payoff. For a property-tax balance, ask the tax office named on the notice for the current account and status. The title company checks title and coordinates the payoff information needed for closing.
If you have them, share the property address, parcel number, latest tax notice, payoff statement, mortgage information, or lien or court notice. Bring the document even if a figure looks old; the responsible creditor or office can confirm the current amount.
You can call before you have everything. Start with the address and what is concerning you; we can talk through what to check next.

Abilene and Texas details
Abilene spans Jones County and Taylor County. First confirm which county the parcel is in, then use the matching County Clerk contact for county-record questions. The links identify the county offices; they do not verify a particular property's lien balance or tax status.
A tax-sale notice concerns delinquent property taxes. A mortgage-foreclosure notice concerns enforcement of a mortgage debt. They are separate processes with different notices and rules, so use the notice in front of you and confirm the current status with the tax authority or creditor named on it. For a mortgage-foreclosure question, see the Abilene foreclosure page.
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price; a deed that leaves out the buyer's mailing address can cost more to record.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Use the Abilene home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare estimates with your own numbers, including any mortgage, lien, or tax payoff you know about. Its result is an estimate, not a payoff quote.
