A lien is a claim that can affect the property's title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office gives to satisfy an obligation. An older bill or notice may not show today's figure.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, creditor, or county office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and works with the responsible party on the information needed for closing. If the payoff is more than the sale proceeds, ask the lender or lienholder what terms it will accept before deciding how to proceed.
Our closing-cost promise is separate from mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those amounts are confirmed for the property and shown separately in the closing figures.

A county property-tax or tax-sale matter is separate from a lender's mortgage foreclosure. For a tax-account question, start with the Revenue Commissioner and check any notice for current status and dates. For a mortgage notice, contact the lender or servicer named on it and follow that notice. One does not confirm the status or deadline of the other.
See the Gadsden foreclosure page for related mortgage-foreclosure questions.
Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. Taxable value may be reduced by a mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid; the closing attorney confirms that amount. The deed needs proof of the actual price or value, and the probate office may use the latest tax assessment if proof is missing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax.
That closing-cost promise does not pay a seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.
