Manhattan, Kansas · Riley County and Pottawatomie County · Back taxes and 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 in Manhattan, Riley County, and Pottawatomie County, Kansas, for cash. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can call before you have every payoff detail.
The creditor or county office confirms the current amount; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale. Call 888-274-5006 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 notice, payoff, or lien.
A lien is a claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office gives to resolve what is owed. An older bill or letter may not show the amount needed now.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Closing costs and debt payoffs are different items. Our closing-cost statement does not mean we pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. The creditor or tax office confirms the payoff, and the title company works confirmed figures into the closing.
Start with the Manhattan property address; you do not need to gather everything before calling. If you have them, keep the parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, lender payoff statement, lien or court papers, and any case number nearby. The title company checks property records, while the lender, creditor, or office named on a notice confirms its current amount and instructions.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Manhattan includes property in Riley County and Pottawatomie County. Check the parcel or current tax notice to identify the county for the property; a county records search or older bill is not a current payoff quote or a live tax-sale status.
For recorded property documents, use the Register of Deeds route for the county where the parcel is located. The office can direct you to its county records; the title company checks the transaction records and the creditor confirms a current payoff.

For a current tax amount or a tax-sale notice, contact the county office connected to the parcel or named on the notice. Ask that office to confirm the current account, status, and any date or next step shown in its records. Do not rely on an older bill or a general web page for the parcel's live status.

Keep a property-tax or tax-sale notice separate from lender mortgage-foreclosure papers. Follow the current notice and ask the office that issued it about that parcel. For a mortgage case, use the lender and court information and see the Manhattan foreclosure page; it is not a tax-sale status lookup.
Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. The state's mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees set by state law are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the total depends on the number of pages. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That is separate from your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.
