A lien is a legal claim that may affect the property’s title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the lender, creditor, or tax office to settle an obligation. The office or creditor confirms its own current figures; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts in the closing figures. The closing-cost promise about transfer taxes does not pay those balances.
Start with the Aurora property address; you can call before you have everything. If handy, keep the parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, lender payoff statement, lien or court papers, and any case number nearby. The address and parcel records help identify the county. A title company checks recorded claims, while the lender, creditor, or tax office named on a notice confirms its current amount and instructions.

They have different records and dates, so use the tax notice and county tax office for tax-account or tax-sale status; use the court and case papers for a mortgage foreclosure. Do not use a mortgage-foreclosure date to work out a tax-sale deadline.
The City’s transfer-stamp and Statement of Open Accounts administration are separate from county Recorder and Treasurer records. Check the City’s current instructions for the property address and transaction.

Exemptions and taxable value can change the amount; the property’s actual county and city determine which local taxes apply.
