When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a claim that can affect the house’s title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a creditor or tax office gives to settle it. The title company works with the creditor or office for current written payoff and release information.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items from the closing costs we pay. The title company shows the confirmed figures in the closing paperwork.
The property address is enough to start. A parcel number, property-tax bill, lien or court notice, creditor contact, mortgage statement, written payoff, or any notice with a date can help us understand what you are looking at. You do not need to assemble the whole file before calling.
If a notice lists a deadline or sale date, tell us about it when you call so we can talk through the next step with you. The title company checks the records and written payoff or release instructions as the sale moves forward.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
The lender or lienholder provides the current written payoff and confirms any changed terms. The title company uses those instructions to show how the amount fits the closing figures.
Tell us the Atmore address, what you know about the tax or lien, and any date or question that concerns you. Start with what you have; you can call before you have the full record.

A County property-tax collection or tax-sale notice is not the same as a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure notice. For a tax bill or property-tax account, contact the Escambia County Tax Collector; for a tax-sale notice, check the notice and confirm the current status with the office named there. For a mortgage notice, contact the lender or servicer using the details on that notice. Keep the two notices and their dates separate.
Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. A mortgage or vendor’s lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid may reduce the taxable value; the closing attorney confirms the amount. The deed must include proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply. The tax and recording fees must be paid before recording. Some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from those closing costs.
