Start with the address and the tax or lien information you have.
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.
A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office to satisfy an obligation. The balance on an old bill or notice may not be the current payoff, so the responsible office or creditor confirms the figures for the sale.
The title company reviews the property records and works with the relevant creditor or office on current payoff information. The written sale terms and closing figures show how agreed amounts and any other charges are treated. A payoff is not erased; if the sale proceeds do not cover an amount, its treatment needs to be addressed before closing.
If they are handy, bring the property address, parcel number, latest property-tax bill or notice, mortgage payoff statement, lien or court notice, creditor name, case number, deed, or any sale notice. Start with what you have; you do not need to assemble the whole file before calling 888-274-5006 or sending the form above.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the specific sale and obtains current payoff or release information from the parties involved. The Summit County Recording Division provides recorded-document access; it does not perform the property-specific title search.
Before closing, review the written settlement figures, including the agreed payoffs and any applicable charges. The title company confirms the transaction figures, and the sale closes through a title-company closing.
Akron is in Summit County, Ohio. Use the office and current record that match the question or notice in front of you; a general information page cannot confirm the status of one property.
The Fiscal Office identifies its Auditor division as the county real-property office. Start there for county real-property and tax-account questions; have the property address or parcel number and ask for the current figures and any notice status that applies.
The FAQs link to deed and recorded-document access. They also explain that the Recording Division does not perform title or property searches. Use the county records for documents; the title company checks title for the specific transaction.
This official page links to the online auction and sale/results search. A property's sale date, cancellation, or case status requires its own current record; the general information page is a routing resource, not a status check for a particular address.
Do not assume that a tax balance is the same as a deed-transfer or recording charge. Ask the title company to identify any applicable conveyance or recording costs and who pays them in the written terms and closing figures. The actual amount depends on the property and transaction.
A mortgage foreclosure concerns a lender's mortgage; delinquent property taxes are a separate county tax matter. Do not use one process or notice to assume the status of the other. Check the current case or parcel record and follow the office named in the notice. The Summit County Sheriff page links to auction and results information, but a particular sale date or cancellation must be checked in its current record.
Use the Akron home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your estimates for the sale price, payoff or tax amount, repairs, carrying costs, and closing costs. You can edit the figures. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Yes. 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. The current amount and instructions still need to be confirmed for your property.

No. Its Recording FAQs link to deed and recorded-document access and explain that the Recording Division does not perform title or property searches. A title company checks the specific transaction records during closing.
No. Delinquent property taxes and a lender enforcing a mortgage are separate matters. Follow the notice and current property or case record that applies. The Summit County Sheriff information page links to the official online auction and sale/results search, but the general page does not establish a particular property’s current date or status.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Bring the current payoff statement or notice if you have it so the property-specific figures can be reviewed.
Ask the title company to identify any applicable conveyance or recording charges and who pays each in the written terms and closing figures. Do not treat an estimate as the final amount for your property.
