Share the Marion address and whatever you know about the tax or lien question.
A lien is a claim that can affect the property records or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from a creditor or tax office to settle an amount owed. An older bill or record can help identify the claim, but the responsible creditor or office confirms the current amount.
If you sell to us, you do not need to pay off back taxes before we settle. The title company checks the property records and closing file, and the payoff is addressed through closing rather than by you upfront. The amount left for you depends on the sale terms and the amounts due on the property.
Start with the Marion address and whatever you have: a tax bill or delinquency notice, parcel number, current creditor payoff, mortgage information, lien or court paper, deed, or sheriff notice. You can call before you have everything.
The creditor or tax office named on a notice confirms its current balance and instructions. The title company checks the records and payoff details that apply to the specific closing. County offices can help with the tax account, parcel information, and recorded land documents; those records are not a substitute for a current creditor payoff.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Marion address, what you know about the property, and which tax or lien notice concerns you. Start with what you have; you do not have to resolve the balance before calling.
We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Read the proposed price, payoff treatment, responsibilities, and closing terms before deciding whether to move forward.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership and recorded claims. The creditor or tax office confirms current payoff or release instructions for the closing file.
The closing figures show the sale price and amounts paid or credited at settlement. Review how agreed payoffs are treated and what remains after amounts due are addressed through the title-company closing.
A property-tax foreclosure and a lender mortgage foreclosure are separate processes. Their notices, case records, amounts, and dates can differ. Do not use a mortgage-case date to judge a tax case; follow the current notice and confirm its status with the court or office named there.
Ohio Revised Code §5721.18 addresses foreclosure for delinquent property taxes. A mortgage foreclosure concerns a separate debt and court case. Check the notice and case information you received; the deadline or sale status in one case does not establish the status of the other.
Ohio law sets a state conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of value, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. That statewide structure does not establish the current Marion County fee for a particular sale. Ask the Auditor and closing company to confirm the applicable amount and how it appears in the closing figures.
Contact the Treasurer about a real-estate tax account, bill, or notice. Ask for the current account balance and instructions; a tax balance is separate from a mortgage or another creditor's payoff.
The Recorder is the county records office. Use its records search for recorded land documents. A recorded document is not a current payoff quote; ask the creditor for its current amount and release instructions.
Use the parcel search for property and parcel information. For conveyance-fee questions, confirm the current county amount with the Auditor and the closing company.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
