Can I Sell My King George 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 King George and King George County, Virginia, including houses with back taxes or liens. You can call before you have every record or payoff detail.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the property and the notice in front of you.

How lien and tax payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a claim that can affect the property’s title or money due at closing. The current payoff is the amount and instructions the creditor or tax office gives to satisfy it as of a stated date. The title company checks the title and coordinates written payoff and release information with the office or lienholder. An assessment or public record is not a current payoff statement.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items; the title company confirms the amounts that apply to the property.
Start with the records you have
The property address is enough to start. A parcel number, current tax bill, tax-sale notice, lender statement, lien or court paper, creditor contact, or payoff statement can help identify the question. You do not need to collect every document before calling.
The Treasurer checks County tax-payment questions; the creditor or tax office provides its current payoff and release terms. The title company reviews recorded claims and works with those sources on the written figures for closing. If a notice has a date, share it and confirm its current status with the office named on it.
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.
Ask the lender or lienholder for its current written payoff. The title company can review the amount and release terms with the other title information for your property.
What happens next
1. Talk through the house and notice
Tell us the King George address, what you know about the lien or tax account, and any date that concerns you. Start with what you have; you can call before you have the full file.
2. Review the written terms
We discuss the house as it stands and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit.
3. Confirm title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims, coordinates current payoff and release information with the relevant offices or lienholders, and prepares the settlement figures for your review.
4. Review the figures and close
The settlement figures show the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other listed costs. The title company handles the closing and confirms the documents and final figures for the transaction.
King George County offices for tax and property records
County tax payment, assessment, and land-record questions go to different offices. King George County’s GIS page provides its official parcel map; check the actual address and the office that matches the record or notice.
King George County Commissioner of the Revenue
Use the Commissioner for assessment and tax-record questions. The office is at 10459 Courthouse Drive, Suite 101, King George, VA 22485. The Treasurer handles tax payments and parcel-bill questions.
King George County Circuit Court Clerk — Land Records
The Clerk maintains the County land-record route for recorded property documents. The office is at 10446 Government Center Boulevard, Suite 271, King George, VA 22485. A record search is not a title determination; the title company reviews the specific transaction. Use the County GIS parcel map to check an address against the County’s mapping information.
King George County Community Development
If the paperwork concerns a permit or inspection, Community Development routes County building permits, inspections, planning and zoning enforcement, environmental review, and site-plan questions. Its listed address is 10459 Courthouse Drive, Suite 104, King George, VA 22485.
Tax-sale notices, mortgage foreclosure, and transfer taxes
Tax notice or mortgage sale?
A King George County tax bill or tax-sale notice is separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure. Follow the date and instructions on the tax notice and contact the County Treasurer about the parcel balance or notice status. Do not use mortgage trustee-sale notice periods to calculate a tax-sale deadline. A Virginia mortgage foreclosure is generally a trustee’s sale under a deed of trust; see our King George foreclosure page for that separate process.
Virginia deed and transfer taxes
Virginia taxes deeds when they are recorded. State grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value. State recordation tax is separate, and local recordation tax may apply where adopted. Exemptions and the transaction details can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms what applies. Read the statutes for grantor tax, state recordation tax, and local recordation tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. Those are separate settlement items.
Compare what you might keep after payoffs
Use your own estimated sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, repairs, and selling costs to compare possible net proceeds. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What our sellers say
“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.”
King George property liens and back-tax questions
Can I sell my King George house before paying 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 King George and King George County, Virginia, including houses with back taxes or liens. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Who checks the current balance and payoff amount?
The County Treasurer can answer questions about a King George County property-tax bill or balance. A creditor or tax office supplies its current payoff and release information, and the title company checks the title and coordinates the written payoff details for the sale. An assessment or public record is not the same as a current payoff.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with the property address and whatever you have: a tax bill or notice, parcel number, lender statement, lien or court paper, creditor contact, or a notice with a date. You can call before you have every document; the current balance and payoff details can be checked as the sale is discussed.
What if the payoff is more than my King George house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Ask the lender or lienholder for its current written payoff so the title company can review the amount and release terms for your property.
Is a tax-sale notice the same as a mortgage foreclosure sale?
No. A County tax-payment or tax-sale matter is separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure. Follow the date and instructions on the notice in front of you; do not use mortgage trustee-sale notice periods to work out a tax deadline. Contact the King George County Treasurer about a County tax bill or notice, and use the mortgage notice and the King George foreclosure page for a lender sale.
What happens after I contact you?
We talk through the house and the records you have, then give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide. If you choose to proceed, a title company checks ownership and recorded claims, coordinates current payoff information, prepares the settlement figures, and handles closing.
