Corbin, KY › Property liens and back taxes
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 Corbin, Kentucky, and Knox, Laurel, and Whitley Counties. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can talk with us before you have every notice or payoff figure.
You can review the written offer and terms before you decide. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Call 888-274-5006 — we answer 24/7.
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. The payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items; they are not part of our closing-cost payment.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims. A lender, creditor, County Clerk, or tax office provides the current amount and payoff instructions for its account. The County PVA handles assessment questions; the Sheriff handles county property-tax bill and payment questions.
If you have a tax notice, case paper, or payoff statement, keep it nearby. You can call with what you know now; you do not have to collect every record first.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

For City of Corbin property-tax questions, contact the City Collector’s Office ↗. City tax questions are separate from county assessment and payment.
A county delinquent-tax matter is separate from a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure case. The notices and dates belong to their own processes. Contact the County Clerk about local delinquent-tax information; for a county tax bill or payment, contact the relevant Sheriff. Use the current notice to check the balance, status, and instructions that apply to the property.
Laurel and Whitley County Clerks publish delinquent-tax information online. Knox County sellers can contact the County Clerk using the office information above to ask about their current account and instructions.
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. State law places the tax on the grantor, which is the seller, and the County Clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate; the title company can confirm whether an exemption applies. See KRS 142.050 ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.
This closing-cost payment does not pay a seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.

No. You can call with the property address and what you know so far. A tax notice, case paper, or payoff statement can help if you have one, but you do not need to assemble every record first.
We talk through the house and the information you have, then provide written terms for you to consider. If you choose to proceed, a title company checks the ownership, recorded claims, current payoff information, and closing details before settlement.
