When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Norfolk, Virginia, including houses with back taxes or liens. Start with the property address and whatever notice or payoff information you have. The lender, creditor, or City Treasurer confirms its current amount; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, creditor, or tax office provides its current balance and payoff or release instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale and uses the confirmed figures in the closing work.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts shown in the settlement figures; the closing-cost promise does not pay them.
Start with the Norfolk property address. A recent city tax bill or notice, lender payoff letter, mortgage statement, lien or court paper, parcel number, or case number can help. The office or creditor named on a notice confirms its own current balance and instructions; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale. 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 a conversation about the house and whatever records you have. These steps show how written terms, title and payoff work, and closing fit together.
Tell us the Norfolk address, what notice or paper you received, and any amount or date that concerns you. Start with what you know; you do not need to resolve the payoff before calling.
We review the house as it stands. Read the written offer and terms before deciding whether the sale fits your situation. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or City Treasurer confirms its current payoff or tax-account information and instructions for the closing.
Before closing, review the written figures showing the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, closing costs, and what remains after those items. The title company coordinates the closing.
Norfolk is an independent city; no county applies to this market. The U.S. Census lists the Virginia unit as “Norfolk city,” and the City Assessor describes its jurisdiction as property within Norfolk city limits. Confirm the address is inside the city before using a city property record.

The City Treasurer collects city real-estate taxes, and the City's Real Estate Tax page posts tax-sale notices for unpaid taxes. Use your current bill or notice to ask about the account balance or notice status. The office lists 810 Union Street, First Floor, Norfolk, VA 23510, and 757-664-7849.

The Assessor handles property assessment and parcel or ownership information for property within Norfolk city limits. Its listed office number is 757-664-4732. An assessed value is not a current tax payoff or lender balance.
The Clerk publishes separate routes for deeds and land records. Use those records for a recorded-document question; if you have a court paper, contact the Clerk with the case information shown on the notice.

A lien is a claim that can affect the property or money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the lender, creditor, or tax office. Use the current notice and the office named on it to check the account and its status.
The City's Real Estate Tax page posts tax-sale notices for unpaid city real-estate taxes. That is different from a lender's mortgage foreclosure. In Virginia, foreclosures under a deed of trust are usually trustee sales, not court cases. Check the current tax notice with the City Treasurer; for a mortgage notice, check the date and payoff with the lender or trustee named on it.

Virginia charges grantor tax when a deed is recorded: 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value. Norfolk is among the cities with a regional transportation improvement fee of 0.06%. State recordation tax and, where adopted, local recordation tax are separate. The sale contract can shift who pays the grantor tax; exemptions or transfers with little or no consideration can change the amounts, which the settlement agent confirms.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
Read the Virginia rules for grantor tax, regional transportation improvement fee, state recordation tax, and local recordation tax.
