When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. You can call us now about selling a New Orleans house with back taxes or liens. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of New Orleans and Orleans Parish. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A title company is the closing company that checks ownership and recorded claims. It works with the creditor or tax office on current payoff information while you can ask us about the house before every detail is assembled.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks recorded claims and works with the parties on the documents needed for closing. Your mortgage, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost payment.
The property address and any City tax bill or notice, lien or judgment notice, mortgage statement, payoff letter, parcel information, or court paper are useful starting points. You can call before you have everything. The creditor or tax office named on a notice can confirm its current balance and status; the title company checks recorded claims and payoff instructions for the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the New Orleans address, what you know about the lien or tax balance, and any date on a notice. Start with what you have; you do not need to solve the payoff before calling.
We discuss the house as it stands and put the offer and sale terms in writing before you commit. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before deciding whether they fit your situation.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or taxing office provides current payoff amounts and instructions; the closing team uses those records to prepare the settlement figures.
The settlement statement lists the sale price, payoffs, taxes, fees, and the amount left after those items. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
New Orleans citywide corresponds to Orleans Parish, but that boundary comparison is not a parcel lookup. Use the office tied to the record or notice you have; a tax bill or assessment is not the same as a lien payoff or title search.
Use the City's Find Your Tax Bill page to start a City property-tax bill lookup. The Bureau lists 1300 Perdido Street, 1W40, New Orleans, LA 70112, and (504) 658-1701. A bill lookup does not confirm a lien payoff or the status of a sale notice; follow the notice and confirm with the office handling it.
The Land Records Division is the local route for Orleans Parish deeds, mortgages, and other recorded land instruments. Its listed address is 1340 Poydras Street, 4th Floor, New Orleans, LA 70112, and its listed phone is (504) 407-0005.
The City's Property Viewer identifies its displayed data as supplied by the City and the Assessor. Use it as a starting point for parcel and assessment information, not for a current tax payoff, lien balance, or title determination. The City government directory separately lists the Orleans Parish Assessor's Office.
The Clerk's Notarial Archives page describes the City's contract for collecting the Documentary Transaction Tax. Check the Clerk's information and ask the closing professional which requirements apply to your document; this page does not determine a tax amount or exemption for a specific sale.
Keep a property-tax notice separate from a mortgage-foreclosure notice. They concern different obligations, and a date on one does not establish a date for the other. For a tax account or tax-sale status, use the tax notice and the office handling it; no parcel-specific status or sale date is assumed here.
Louisiana mortgage foreclosures proceed through court, either by ordinary process or executory process. A lender's payoff can include interest, attorney fees, and court costs in addition to the loan balance. If you have a mortgage-foreclosure notice, check the current case information and ask the lender for its payoff; a sale still depends on resolving the debts and charges needed to clear title.

No. A tax notice concerns the property-tax account or tax process; a mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan and proceeds through court in Louisiana. Use the tax notice and the office named on it for current tax information. Use the lender payoff and the court or sheriff information on a mortgage notice for that separate case.
