A lien is a legal claim that can affect a 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. An older bill or notice may not show today's figure, so ask the office or creditor for the current amount and release instructions.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction and works with the creditor or tax office on payoff information. Your written sale terms and closing figures show how agreed payoffs and other charges are treated. If the amounts due are more than the available sale proceeds, the creditor's terms and any required approval have to be addressed before closing.
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.
If they are handy, gather the property address, parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, mortgage payoff statement, lien or court notice, creditor name, deed, and any sale notice. Start with what you have; you do not need a complete file before calling 888-274-5006 or using the form above. The office or creditor named on the notice can confirm its current account or payoff; the title company checks the transaction records.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with a conversation about the house and the information you have. You do not have to sort out the records before contacting us.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you decide.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and coordinates payoff information with the relevant creditor or office. The current notice or case record is the place to confirm the status of a specific tax or mortgage matter.
The closing figures show the sale price, payoffs, applicable charges, and the amount remaining after those items. Review the figures and written terms before closing.
The city of Chillicothe is in Ross County. Use the office that matches the record or notice; a public record or sale listing is only a starting point for checking one property's current balance, lien status, or case.
The Recorder is Ross County's land-records office. Use it for recorded land documents and recording questions. A recorded document is not the creditor's current payoff amount; ask the creditor or tax office for its current balance and instructions.
Check the Auditor's property and tax information for parcel context. For a current tax balance or a sale notice, match the parcel and ask the office named on the current bill or notice to confirm the account and status.
For a lender mortgage-foreclosure case or sheriff-sale notice, use the current court and Sheriff information for that case. A mortgage-foreclosure listing does not establish the property's tax balance or tax-sale status.
A property-tax delinquency or tax-sale matter is separate from a lender's mortgage-foreclosure case. Read the notice to see which one it concerns. Use the Ross County Auditor and the office named on a current tax notice for tax-account questions; use the court or Sheriff named in a mortgage-foreclosure notice for that case. Do not infer one status from the other.
Ohio law provides for a state conveyance fee and allows a county real-property transfer fee. The amount that applies to a particular deed can depend on the transfer and local fee, so ask the Ross County Auditor or the title company to confirm the current charge and who is responsible under the sale terms. It is separate from a mortgage or tax payoff; ask for it to be shown in the written closing figures. Read Ohio Revised Code § 319.54 and § 322.02.
Use the editable Chillicothe home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimated value, mortgage payoff, lien or tax amount, repairs, cleanout, carrying costs, and closing costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
The calculator is a planning estimate. Use the title company's written settlement figures for the transaction-specific payoffs and charges.
Yes. 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; the current amount and payoff instructions are confirmed for the property as the sale moves forward.
Start with the current tax bill or notice and ask the office or creditor named there to confirm the balance and instructions. The Ross County Auditor has property and tax information, the Ross County Recorder has county land records, and the title company checks records and coordinates transaction payoffs for closing.
No. A property-tax delinquency or tax-sale matter and a lender mortgage-foreclosure case are separate questions. Check the current tax bill or county account for tax status, and the court or Sheriff notice for a mortgage-foreclosure case or sale. One notice does not establish the other status.
If they are handy, have the property address, parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, creditor name, payoff statement, lien or court notice, deed, mortgage information, and any sale notice. Start with what you have; you can call before you have the complete file.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. The current payoff and any lender decision still have to be confirmed for the specific transaction.
We talk through the house and what you know, review the property as it stands, and provide written terms before you decide. If you choose to proceed, a title company checks ownership and recorded claims, coordinates payoff information with the relevant creditor or office, and prepares the closing figures for review.
