How payoffs work

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

The creditor or tax office supplies current payoff amounts and instructions. The title company checks the ownership and recorded claims for the sale and works through the payoff details with the relevant office or creditor.

The closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those amounts are separate from closing costs and are addressed from the sale proceeds using the current figures for the property.

Records and a next step

If they are handy, gather the property address, parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, payoff statement, creditor name, recorded document, or court paper. The Clark County Treasurer can check the property-tax account; the creditor provides its current payoff; and the title company checks title and recorded claims for the transaction. Call us with what you have, even if the file is incomplete.

888-274-5006 or use the form above to start the conversation. You do not need to sort out every balance first.

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. 1. Talk through the house and the records you have

    Tell us the Jeffersonville address, what notice or payoff information you have, and what timing concerns you. You can start before the full account or case record is assembled.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the proposed price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you decide.

  3. 3. Work through title and payoff details

    If you want to proceed, the title company reviews ownership and recorded claims. The creditor or county office confirms the current payoff information, and the closing team prepares the figures for the specific transaction.

  4. 4. Review the figures and close

    The closing statement lays out the sale price, payoff amounts, taxes, charges, and the amount left after those items. The sale closes through a title company.

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Clark County tax, court, and property records

A property-tax sale and a mortgage foreclosure are separate matters. A tax-sale notice concerns delinquent property taxes; mortgage foreclosure concerns a lender's mortgage and court case. Check the notice for the matter you have. For a tax account, use the Treasurer; for a mortgage case, coordinate with the court handling that case.

Clark County Recorder ↗

Use the Recorder for recorded-document searches and recording questions. The office is at the Clark County Government Center, 300 Corporate Drive, Room 102, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Recorded documents are not the same as a creditor's current payoff; the Recorder states that staff do not give legal opinions.

Clark County Assessor ↗

Contact the Assessor about assessment and property-record questions at the Clark County Government Center, 300 Corporate Drive, Room 104, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. An assessment record is separate from a current tax payoff or lien balance.

Clark County Auditor ↗

The Auditor handles the county tax duplicate and parcel-specific property records. The office is at the Clark County Government Center, 300 Corporate Drive, Suite 106, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Ask the office about the records for your parcel.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Jeffersonville property liens and back taxes questions

Can I sell my Jeffersonville house with back taxes or liens?

Yes. When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. We buy houses with back taxes and liens; the current payoff figures are checked with the responsible office or creditor as the sale moves forward.

Who checks the current tax balance or lien payoff?

The Clark County Treasurer can answer property-tax account questions. A creditor provides its current payoff instructions, and the title company reviews ownership and recorded claims and works through the payoff details for the specific closing.

Are a property-tax sale and mortgage foreclosure the same process?

No. A property-tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes. Mortgage foreclosure is a court case about the home loan. Follow the notice for the matter you have; a tax notice does not establish the status of a mortgage case, and a mortgage case does not confirm the current tax account.

What records should I have before I call?

Start with the Jeffersonville property address and any parcel number, tax bill or notice, payoff statement, creditor letter, recorded document, or court paper you have. You can call before you have everything; the first conversation does not depend on assembling a complete file.

What if the lender payoff is more than my house is worth?

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

What happens after I contact you?

We talk through the house and the information you have, then put the offer and terms in writing before you decide. If you choose to proceed, a title company checks the ownership, recorded claims, payoff instructions, and settlement figures for the specific sale.
