Can I Sell My McPherson, KS House With Liens or Back Taxes?

When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.

How liens and payoffs work when you sell to us

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

A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office gives to settle an account. A title company checks the property records and coordinates the payoff information used for closing. The creditor or county office confirms its own current balance.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the offer and written terms before deciding whether to move forward.

Records that can help — and you can call before you have them all

Bring the property address, the latest property-tax notice, any lender or creditor payoff statement, a lien or case number, recorded documents, and any court or sale notice you have. The county offices below can point you to the right starting record; the title company and the creditor or tax office confirm the property-specific information. You do not have to assemble everything before calling.

For an assessment question, start with the McPherson County Appraiser's Office. For a deed or recorded-record question, see the McPherson County Register of Deeds. For a property-tax notice or account question, use the McPherson County Treasurer.

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 through the property

    Tell us the McPherson address, what notice or payoff information you have, and what you are trying to sort out. Start with what you know; you can call before every balance is confirmed.

  2. 2. Review the house and written terms

    We review the house as it stands and provide the offer and terms in writing before you commit. You can compare those terms with your other options.

  3. 3. Let the title company and offices confirm the details

    The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale. The lender, creditor, or county office provides current payoff information, and the closing professionals use those records to prepare the settlement figures.

  4. 4. Review the closing figures and close

    The title company confirms the final figures and handles the title-company closing. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing under the sale terms.

McPherson County records, tax notices, and Kansas sale costs

A property-tax matter is different from mortgage foreclosure

A property-tax balance or tax-related notice is separate from a lender's mortgage payoff and foreclosure case. For a tax question, check the current account and notice with the McPherson County Treasurer. A Kansas mortgage foreclosure is a lender's district-court case; after judgment, the house can be sold at a sheriff's sale. Check the current court record and sale notice for the status and date. The process is described in K.S.A. 60-2410.

Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax

Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax or deed tax. The state mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. Deeds and mortgages still have county recording fees set by state law: $21 for the first page and $17 for each additional page, including the state technology and heritage trust fund add-ons. The rates are the same in every county, but the total depends on how many pages are recorded. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact charges.

The page and fee rules are in K.S.A. 28-115; the Kansas Legislative Research Department's mortgage-registration-tax overview explains the ended tax and statutory fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.

McPherson property lien and back-tax questions

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

Yes. You can call or use the form before you have every record. When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.

Who can tell me the current tax or lien balance?

Ask the McPherson County Treasurer about the property-tax account and the creditor or lender for a current payoff statement. The title company checks the recorded claims and uses current payoff information in the closing work.

What should I have ready when I call?

Start with the property address and whatever you have: a tax notice, payoff statement, creditor name or account reference, recorded document, or court or sale notice. You can call before you have everything.

Is a Kansas mortgage foreclosure the same as a property-tax sale?

No. A Kansas mortgage foreclosure is a lender's district-court case that can proceed to a sheriff's sale. A property-tax balance or tax-related notice is a separate matter. Check the notice and current case information for the specific property.
