Share the address and what you know about the lien, tax notice, or payoff.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The current amount comes from the creditor or tax office holding the account, not just an older bill or statement. The title company checks the property records and works with the confirmed payoff instructions in the closing figures. Closing costs are separate from your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.
Start with the property address. If they are handy, a recent property-tax bill or notice, mortgage or lien statement, creditor or court paper, parcel information, and any tax-sale or foreclosure notice can help. The creditor or office named on a notice confirms its current balance and instructions; the title company checks the property records for the sale. You can call before you have everything.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
A recorded lien, a tax-account balance, and a lender's mortgage payoff are different items. Use the office that handles the specific record or account, and follow the notice and case information for any tax-sale or mortgage-foreclosure matter.

The City directs appraisal questions to the El Paso Central Appraisal District (EPCAD), a separate appraisal district. For a delinquent-tax or tax-sale notice, use the case and office named on that notice; a tax matter is separate from a lender's mortgage-foreclosure case.

Recording fees are based on pages, not the sale price; the Clerk or title company can confirm current document requirements and charges.
