Can I Sell My Greensburg 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. USA Home Buyers buys houses with back taxes and liens in Greensburg and Decatur County, Indiana. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can call about a cash sale before you have every notice or payoff statement.

Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the property and the records you have.

How payoffs work

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

Closing costs are separate from your mortgage balance, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The lender, creditor, or county office confirms its current amount and instructions; the title company reviews the records and settlement figures for the sale.

Records that help — and who checks them

Start with the property address or the notice. A current tax bill, lien or court paper, mortgage statement, payoff quote, parcel number, or deed can help us talk through what is owed. The lender, creditor, or county office named on the notice confirms its balance and payoff instructions. For the sale, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. You can call before you have every document.

For a copy of a recorded document, the Decatur County Recorder links to an index covering documents filed from January 1994 to the present.

If the payoff is more than the house is worth

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

    The title company prepares the settlement figures, including the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other charges that apply. Liens are paid from the sale at closing under the written terms.
