When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the lender, creditor, or tax office to satisfy an account. That office or creditor confirms its balance and payoff or release instructions; the title company checks ownership, recorded claims, and settlement figures. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
Start with the address and the notice or statement in front of you. A property-tax bill or notice, lien or mortgage statement, parcel information, creditor or court case number, deed, or sale notice can help identify the right record. You can call before you have everything.
The lender, creditor, or tax office named on a notice confirms its current amount and payoff or release instructions. Kent County’s Recorder of Deeds is the county route for recorded deeds and land documents; those records do not replace a current payoff quote. The title company checks which recorded claims and payoff documents apply to the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Dover or Kent County address, what you know about the lien or tax issue, and any timing concern. You do not have to resolve the payoff before calling.
We review the house as it stands and put the offer and proposed sale terms in writing before you decide. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you commit.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or tax office provides current payoff or release information, and the closing professionals confirm the figures and documents for settlement.
The settlement statement shows the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other closing figures. You close through a title company under the written terms you accepted.
Dover city is in Kent County. Use the office or creditor named on the notice for its account balance, and use the county or court record that matches your question.
Use the County Recorder route for recorded deeds and land documents. A recorded mortgage, lien, or release is not necessarily the current payoff amount; ask the lender, creditor, or tax office named on the account for its current figures.
The Judiciary’s directory lists court locations in Kent County. It is a location directory, not a decision about which court or process applies to a particular property. Follow the notice and case record for the current information.
An unpaid property-tax lien can follow Delaware’s court-supervised monition sale process. That is a tax-sale path, not a lender’s mortgage foreclosure. The current tax notice and court or sale record show which steps apply; check the actual record with the court and office named for the case.
A mortgage foreclosure is a separate case that proceeds through Delaware Superior Court and may lead to a Sheriff sale. Use the foreclosure notice, live case record, and sale information to check the status for your house; a tax-sale notice does not tell you the mortgage-foreclosure schedule.

Delaware charges realty transfer tax on taxable deeds. The state tax is 2.5% of the taxable value and is divided equally between seller and buyer. Wilmington has a separate city transfer tax for property in Wilmington; it is not a Dover city tax. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the taxable value, any exemption, and the amounts for the specific property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Delaware's state realty transfer tax and Wilmington's real property transfer tax.
Wilmington’s city tax does not apply to a Dover property. Our closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate from closing costs.
Use the Dover home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimated value, mortgage payoff, lien or tax amount, repairs, and other costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
