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 title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office to satisfy an obligation. Mortgage balances, lien balances, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items; the written account or payoff for each one is checked during the sale.
A tax bill or assessed value is not the same as a current payoff figure. The City Tax Collector can check Bridgeport property-tax account details; a lender or other creditor provides its current payoff information. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and coordinates the closing figures.
If they are handy, have the latest property-tax bill or notice, parcel or account number, mortgage statement, written lien or loan payoff, and any court or tax-sale notice. The creditor or tax office can confirm its current balance; the title company checks the recorded land records and the payoff or release instructions needed for the closing.
You do not need to sort out the records first. Call with the address and whatever notice or amount you have, and we can talk through the house while the current figures are being confirmed.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Bridgeport address, what is going on, and which notice or payoff concerns you. You can start with what you know; you do not have to finish gathering records before calling.
We discuss the house as it stands and prepare a written cash offer. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the offer and terms before you decide whether to proceed.
If you choose to move forward, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. The City Tax Collector, lender, or other creditor confirms the current payoff information for its account, and the closing attorney confirms the Connecticut conveyance-tax amount that applies.
Before closing, review the written settlement figures showing the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and the amount left after those items. The title company coordinates the closing and payoffs from the sale proceeds.
A Bridgeport property-tax or tax-sale notice is separate from a lender's mortgage-foreclosure case. Check the tax account or tax-sale notice with the City Tax Collector; check a mortgage notice with the lender and the court named in that case. One status does not answer the other.
The City of Bridgeport identifies the City Town Clerk as keeper of Land Records. Use that office for Bridgeport recorded land-record questions. For a city property-tax account, ask the Tax Collector about the current bill, balance, or notice.
For a taxable home sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut charges state real estate conveyance tax when the deed is recorded. The state rate is 0.75% on the price up to $800,000, 1.25% on the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any part above $2.5 million. Every town also has a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax; a limited group of eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. The closing attorney confirms the amount and whether an exemption applies.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes.
The closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those balances and allocations remain separate items on the settlement figures.
Use the Bridgeport home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare estimates with your own sale price, mortgage payoff, lien or tax balance, and other costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

“The boiler on my West Side property failed mid-winter and the pipes froze. Three rooms had water damage and the plaster ceilings in two of them came down. Contractor said $41,000 minimum. I'm seventy and I'm not financing $41,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. The whole thing took nine days.”
Yes. You can call us before paying off back taxes or gathering every record. When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. We buy houses with back taxes and liens, and payoffs are handled through the sale.
Start with the property address and whatever you have: a current tax bill or notice, parcel or account number, mortgage or lien payoff statement, and any court or tax-sale notice. The City Tax Collector can check a Bridgeport property-tax account, the creditor or servicer provides its current payoff, and the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. You can call before you have everything.
No. A property-tax or tax-sale notice concerns a tax account; a mortgage foreclosure concerns a lender and its court case. Check each notice with the office, creditor, or court named on it. A tax-account balance does not tell you the status of a mortgage-foreclosure case.
