Brownsville, Texas · Cameron County
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Brownsville and Cameron County, including houses with liens or back taxes. You can call before you have every payoff record. The creditor or tax office confirms its current amount; a title company checks the property records and works through payoff details for closing.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Call 888-274-5006 to ask for a written cash offer.
Share the property address and whatever you know about the lien, tax account, notice, or payoff. You do not need to gather every record before starting the conversation.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us the address and what you know about the notice, creditor, tax account, or payoff.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, creditor, or tax office supplies the current balance and payoff or release instructions. The title company checks the recorded property claims and uses the confirmed instructions in the settlement work. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise.
If you have them, start with the property address, current mortgage or payoff statement, lien or court notice, property-tax bill, parcel or account number, and any tax-sale or foreclosure notice. You can call even if the paperwork is incomplete.
The lender, creditor, or tax office named on a notice confirms its current amount and instructions. The title company checks recorded property claims and coordinates the transaction’s title and payoff work. A County Clerk record search can help locate a filed instrument, but it does not confirm a creditor’s current payoff amount.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Brownsville address, what is happening with the lien or taxes, and any date on a notice. Start with what you know; you do not need to solve the payoff before you call.
We review the house as-is and give you written offer terms before you commit. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before deciding.
If you choose to move forward, a title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or tax office confirms its current payoff information for the settlement work.
The title company reviews the settlement figures with you, including the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, and other transaction amounts. You close through the title company under the written terms you accepted.
Use the office that matches the question. A recorded instrument, a property-tax balance, and a lender’s mortgage payoff are different records; the office or creditor holding each account confirms its current information.
Cameron County’s Clerk handles recording legal instruments and provides an Official Public Records search. The Clerk’s page lists a Brownsville Main Office at 835 East Levee Street, 3rd Floor, Brownsville, TX 78520, phone (956) 544-0815. Use the record search for filed-document questions; the title company checks which records and releases apply to a sale.
Cameron County’s Tax Assessor-Collector lists property-tax services and a Tax Sales route. For a tax-sale notice, use the County’s current information and the notice itself to check the parcel, status, and dates. A property-tax sale is not the same process as a lender’s mortgage foreclosure; do not use a mortgage-sale notice to work out a tax-sale date.
The Brownsville Main Tax Office is at 835 E. Levee Street, 1st Floor, Brownsville, TX 78520, phone 956-544-0800. The Southmost Tax Office is at 3000 Southmost Blvd., Brownsville, TX 78520, phone 956-356-6460. Check the County page for current hours and service details.

Cameron Appraisal District’s map search is a separate route from the County Clerk’s recording search and the County Tax Assessor-Collector’s payment and tax sale information. The map-search office address is 2021 Amistad Drive, P.O. Box 1010, San Benito, TX 78586. Use the County Tax Assessor-Collector for a current tax balance or payoff.
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the County Clerk. Recording fees are based on the document, not the sale price, and can vary with the deed details. 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 Brownsville home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own estimate, mortgage payoff, lien or tax amount, and other selling costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
