Can I Sell My Linton 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. Call with the property address and whatever notice or payoff information you have; you do not need every record before starting the conversation.

The lender, creditor, or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims, then coordinates the confirmed figures for closing.

Start with the property address and any tax bill or sale notice, lender payoff statement, lien or court paper, parcel number, or case number you have. You can call before you have everything.

No. Indiana tax sales concern delinquent property taxes and are separate from mortgage foreclosures, which go through court and may lead to a sheriff sale. Follow the current notice for the process and date that apply to your property; the Greene County Treasurer handles property-tax and tax-sale questions.

The Treasurer handles property-tax questions and tax-sale notices, the Recorder handles recorded deeds and mortgages, and the Assessor handles assessments and property-record cards. For a court case, use the Clerk of Courts and the court named in your papers.

Indiana requires property-transfer reporting to the county auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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

We talk through the property and the information you have, review the house as it stands, and put the offer and terms in writing before you decide. If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims, and the responsible creditor or tax office confirms current payoff information for the closing.
