Hudson, NY · Columbia County
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 as-is in the City of Hudson and Columbia County, including houses with liens or back taxes. You can call before you have every notice or payoff document.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
The address, notice, or payoff statement you have is enough to start the conversation. A creditor or tax office confirms its current amount; the title company checks the property records for closing.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk through the property.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the tax account, notice, creditor, or payoff.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The current mortgage balance, lien, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. That office confirms the figures, and the title company checks the property records and closing documents for the sale.
If you have them, bring the property address, parcel number, latest tax bill or delinquency notice, a lien or mortgage statement, creditor or court case number, and any sale notice. A notice may not show the current payoff. You can call before you have all the records or have sorted out which office to contact.
The office or creditor holding an account confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company reviews recorded claims and works with the relevant parties on the documents and figures needed for closing.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Hudson address, what the house needs, and which tax, lien, or notice is causing concern. Start with what you know; you do not need to solve the payoff before calling.
We review the house as it stands and give you the offer and terms in writing before you decide. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before making a decision.
The title company reviews ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or tax office provides current payoff information and instructions for the closing figures.
Review the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and closing costs in the written terms and closing figures. The sale closes through a title company under the terms you accept.
Hudson is a city in Columbia County. A Hudson mailing address alone does not show which tax office or municipal records apply. The City, County, school district, and County Clerk have different records and responsibilities.
For a City of Hudson property-tax account or delinquency question, start with the City Treasurer at City Hall, 520 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534. The City says its property-tax bill includes City and County taxes; current school property taxes are billed by and payable to the Hudson City School District. Ask the office that issued a notice for the current account status and dates.
Use the County agency for County assessment and tax-map questions. Its office is at 560 Warren Street, 2nd Floor, Hudson, NY 12534. This is different from the City’s tax collection and deed-recording functions.
The County Clerk’s office is at 560 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534. Use the County’s public-record resources for deed, mortgage, and other recorded-document questions. Recorded documents do not tell you a creditor’s current payoff amount.
The City Assessor at City Hall, 520 Warren Street, handles City assessment and roll questions. An assessment is not the sale price, a current tax balance, or a creditor’s payoff.
A property-tax account or tax-sale notice is separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure case. The Columbia County Tax Database excludes City of Hudson parcels; use the City Treasurer for a City-parcel tax-account question and the office named on a notice for its current status. New York mortgage foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. Do not use a mortgage-case date to assume a tax notice’s deadline.

New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer. The title or closing professional can confirm the applicable taxes and exemptions for the transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise.

Use the Hudson home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimated sale price, mortgage payoff, lien or tax amount, and other costs to compare an as-is sale with listing. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

Start with the City Treasurer for a City property-tax account or delinquency question. The City says its property-tax bill includes City and County taxes, while current school property taxes are billed by and payable to the Hudson City School District.

Columbia County Clerk public-record resources are for County deed and other recorded-document questions. The County Real Property Tax Service Agency handles County assessment and tax-map information; the City Assessor handles City assessment and roll questions. Those records are different from a creditor’s current payoff.
No. A property-tax account or tax-sale notice and a lender mortgage-foreclosure case are separate matters.
