When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale. The creditor or tax office provides the current payoff amount and release instructions. A public record, assessed value, or older statement may not show the current payoff for your property.
Closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge, are separate from your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes. The payoff affects the settlement figures for the sale.
A property address is enough to start. If you have them, bring the parcel number, current tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor contact, payoff statement, mortgage information, and any sale notice. The City Clerk & Treasurer can check a Newport City tax account; the title company and lienholder help confirm the current payoff and recorded claims. You can call before you have everything.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with the Newport City address, the house as it stands, and whatever you know about the lien or tax account. You do not need to resolve the records before calling.
We discuss the house as-is and provide the proposed offer and sale terms in writing before you decide whether to proceed.
If you choose to move ahead, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The creditor or tax office confirms current payoff and release information, and the closing team works through the documents and figures with you.
The closing figures show the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other settlement items. You can review the written terms and figures before closing.
Newport City and the Town of Newport are separate municipalities. Confirm which one contains the property before using a local tax account or land-record office. Newport City is in Orleans County; these City offices handle City records, not every property with a Newport mailing address.

A City tax bill or tax-related notice concerns the property-tax account. A mortgage foreclosure is a separate lender and court case. If you have a tax-sale notice, foreclosure paper, or a date on a notice, contact the office or court named there to check its current status and next deadline. Do not treat a tax bill as a mortgage-case schedule, or assume that a lender's court dates answer a City tax-account question.
The general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer's principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment; the closing attorney applies the right category.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
