Can I Sell My Greeley House With Back Taxes or Liens?
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. We buy houses as-is in Greeley and Weld County, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the liens or tax notice; you can call before you have every document.
Want to talk through a cash offer? Call 888-274-5006.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the Greeley address and what you know about the notice or payoff.
How lien and tax payoffs work
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items. The creditor or taxing office confirms the payoff amount and payment instructions, and the title company coordinates the payoff through closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
What records help—and who checks the balances
During a sale, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims and requests payoff information from the creditor or taxing office. The creditor or office provides its current balance and payment instructions.
Start with the property address. A parcel number, tax bill or delinquency notice, lien or court paperwork, creditor name, account or case number, or payoff statement can help. You can call before you have everything or know which office to ask.
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. Talk through the house and the notice
We talk through the house, the lien or tax notice, and what you know about the payoff. You can start with the address before you have the full file or a final payoff amount.
2. Review the written offer and terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. Let title and the payoff offices check the details
The title company reviews ownership and recorded claims. The creditor or tax office provides its current payoff and instructions, and the closing team prepares the settlement and confirms any signing authority needed for the sale.
4. Review the closing figures and close
Before closing, review the settlement figures, including the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, and other transaction costs. The title company prepares the closing documents and disburses funds according to the final settlement.

Colorado deed documentary fee and closing costs
Colorado charges no state deed documentary fee when consideration is $500 or less. Above $500, the fee is one cent for each $100 or major fraction of consideration, including specified liens, charges, and conveyance expenses. State law places the fee on the person offering the deed for recording, though the contract may allocate reimbursement between the parties. County recording charges are separate, and additional city or county charges depend on the property's location. Read Colorado Revised Statutes §39-13-102 →

Greeley property liens and back taxes questions
Can I sell my Greeley house with back taxes or liens before paying them?

How are lien and tax payoffs handled at closing?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing. The creditor or taxing office provides its current payoff amount and payment instructions, and the title company coordinates the payoff for the sale.
