How payoffs work

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.

A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and payment instructions from a lender, creditor, or tax office. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims; the lender, creditor, or tax office confirms its current balance and instructions.

A mortgage balance, lien payoff, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. The confirmed amounts are shown separately in the closing figures.

Records that help — and you can call before you have them all

Start with the Concord property address. If you have them, keep the parcel or account number, latest property-tax bill or lien notice, mortgage or creditor payoff statement, court or lien papers, and any tax-sale notice nearby. The tax office named on the notice can confirm the current tax balance; the lender or creditor confirms its payoff. The title company checks property records and works through the closing details. You can call with what you have now.

If the payoff is the problem

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Concord property-tax, record, and transfer-tax facts

A City property-tax notice and a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure notice concern different debts and follow different procedures. Check the current tax account with the City office and any mortgage-foreclosure date with the lender and the office handling that notice. The Concord foreclosure page covers the separate mortgage process.

Concord property taxes and collection notices

For a Concord property-tax bill, current tax balance, or tax-lien or tax-sale notice, start with the City’s Property Taxes, Treasury and Collections office. The office named on the notice can confirm its current status and the next date that applies to that property.

New Hampshire property-tax sale and tax-lien procedures

New Hampshire law has tax-sale rules and a separate optional real-estate-tax-lien procedure for municipalities that adopt it. In a city or town using that optional procedure, the tax-sale provisions do not apply. Which notice and process apply depends on the municipality and the property; use the City’s current notice and ask the tax office to explain its status. This is separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure.

Merrimack County Registry of Deeds

The Registry of Deeds records and preserves Merrimack County real-estate documents, including deeds and mortgages. A recorded document can help identify a claim, but it is not a current payoff quote; the lender, creditor, or tax office provides the current amount and payment instructions.

New Hampshire real estate transfer tax

New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. On a $100,000 sale, each owes $750, or $1,500 combined. Each party’s tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. The closing professional handles the tax stamps through the county Registry of Deeds and required filings with the Department of Revenue Administration, including any exemption.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax.

That closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate closing figures.

Questions about Concord property liens and back taxes

Can I sell my Concord house with back taxes or liens before paying them?

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 as-is in Concord and Merrimack County, including houses with back taxes or liens. You can call with the address and whatever notice or payoff information you have.

Who checks the current lien or tax payoff?

The City tax collector or other tax office named on the notice confirms the current property-tax balance and status. A lender or creditor confirms its payoff amount and instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and works the confirmed payoff information into the closing figures.

What records should I have when I call?

Start with the property address. If you have them, keep the parcel or account number, latest tax bill or lien notice, mortgage or creditor payoff statement, court or lien papers, and any tax-sale notice nearby. You can call before you have everything.

Is a property-tax sale the same as a mortgage foreclosure?

No. New Hampshire property-tax collection and any tax sale or tax-lien procedure are separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure. The City tax office can confirm the current tax-notice status; for mortgage foreclosure, see the Concord foreclosure page linked below.

What transfer tax applies when a New Hampshire house sells?

New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. Each party’s tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?

We talk through the Concord house and the information you have, review it as-is, and give you written offer terms before you decide. If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the records, the lender, creditor, or tax office confirms payoff details, and the closing figures are prepared for review.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.

“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
Caroline F.Hooksett Road, Manchester NHNovember 2025
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
Kevin D.Amoskeag, Manchester NHMarch 2026
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
Lisa F.North End, Manchester NHSeptember 2025
