How lien and back-tax payoffs work

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

Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. The creditor or tax office supplies current payoff and release information; the title company checks the property records and settlement figures for the sale.

Records that can help—and who checks them

If you have them, bring the latest property-tax notice, lien or mortgage statement, payoff letter, parcel information, case number, and any tax-sale or foreclosure notice. The property address is enough to start; call even if the paperwork is incomplete.

The Montgomery County Treasurer handles property-tax collection and publishes tax-sale information. The Recorder keeps recorded deeds, mortgages, and other land instruments. For another lien or court case, use the creditor or case details on the notice and ask the County Clerk to confirm local routing. The title company checks the records that apply to the sale and works with the relevant parties on current payoff instructions.

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.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk through the property

    Tell us the Crawfordsville address, what you know about the house, and which tax, lien, or payoff question is on your mind. Start with what you have; you do not need to resolve the balance before calling.

  2. 2. Review the house and written terms

    We discuss the house as-is and put the offer and proposed sale terms in writing before you commit. If you decide to move ahead, closing takes place through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before accepting.

  3. 3. Confirm title and payoff details

    The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The creditor or responsible tax office confirms current payoff or release information, and the closing professionals work through the documents and figures for settlement.

  4. 4. Review the settlement and close

    The title company prepares the settlement figures, including the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other transaction costs. Review the figures and the written terms before closing through the title company.

Crawfordsville and Montgomery County lien and tax-sale help
