How liens and back-tax payoffs work

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

Closing costs are separate from your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The creditor or county office provides the current payoff details, and the title company checks what applies to the sale.

Start with the records you have

A tax bill or notice, lender or creditor statement, recorded document, parcel number, or court paper can help identify who to contact and what balance needs checking. A recorded document is not the same as a current payoff; ask the creditor or county office named on the notice for its current amount and instructions.

The title company checks the property records for the transaction. You can call us with the Marshall address and what you know before you have everything assembled. We can talk through the house and the next steps while the current records and balances are confirmed.

888-274-5006 is available if you would rather talk than start with the form.

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 about the house

    Share the address, condition, timing, and the notices or payoff information you have. You do not need to finish sorting the records before you call.

  2. 2. Review the written terms

    We review the house as it stands and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. You can read them and compare the sale with your other choices.

  3. 3. Check title and payoffs

    The title company checks ownership and property records for the transaction. Creditors and the county office provide current payoff amounts and instructions for the obligations they handle.

  4. 4. Review the closing figures

    The closing company prepares the transaction figures, including the sale, payoffs, taxes, and closing costs that apply to the property. The final amounts depend on the records and terms for that sale.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Lyon County records and offices

A property-tax account and a lender's mortgage case are separate matters. Use the notice and account number to ask the office responsible for that record; a mortgage foreclosure notice is not a property-tax bill.

Lyon County tax information ↗

For questions about a Lyon County property-tax account, start with the county tax information page and the notice or bill you received. Ask the county about the current account balance and any tax-related notice or deadline.

Lyon County District Court ↗

If your papers identify a court case, use the Lyon County court information and the case number on your notice to check the case with the court.

Lyon County Sheriff civil process ↗

If you received a Sheriff or sale notice, use the contact and case information on that notice to ask about its current status. A Sheriff notice about a lender's mortgage case is separate from questions about a property-tax account.

Compare what you may keep

Compare your estimated sale price or offer with a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, repairs, and other costs. The Marshall home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you change the estimates. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Marshall property lien and back-tax questions

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

Yes. We buy houses with 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. The current payoff and property records still need to be checked for your sale.

Do I have to gather every record before I call?

No. Start with the Marshall property address and whatever notice, tax bill, creditor statement, or case paper you have. You can call before you have every document or balance.

Who can tell me the current lien or tax payoff?

Ask the creditor or county office named on the notice for its current balance and instructions. Lyon County Recorder land records can help locate recorded property documents; the title company reviews the records and payoff details for the sale.

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

No. A property-tax account and a lender’s mortgage case are separate matters. Use the tax notice for tax-account questions; if you have a court or Sheriff notice, check its case number and date with the Lyon County court or Sheriff.

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

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Share the current payoff statement or notice so the title and payoff details for the sale can be reviewed.

What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?

We talk about the house and the records you have, review the property, and give you written terms before you commit. The title company checks the transaction records and the parties provide current payoff information before closing.
