When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. The title company checks recorded claims, while the responsible creditor or tax office confirms its current payoff and release instructions. Closing costs are separate from your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.
The payoff and available sale proceeds matter. If there is a tax notice or payoff statement, you can call while the current figures are being checked.
The property address and any parcel number, tax bill, sale notice, payoff statement, creditor letter, or court paper you already have can help identify the account. The creditor or tax office confirms its current payoff instructions, and the title company checks recorded claims for the sale. You can call us before you have every record.

Punxsutawney is a borough in Jefferson County. Borough and County tax accounts are handled by different offices, so the bill or notice can show whom to contact.
Jefferson County has separate assessment, tax-claim, and tax-sale functions. Use the County department page to find the office for parcel or delinquent-tax questions, and ask it to confirm the account and current balance.
The Borough lists its own Tax Collector contact. Use the Borough administration page to find that contact for a Borough tax-bill question, and confirm which account or tax year the bill covers.
The County lists probate estate and recorded-document services, including deed and mortgage recording. For a particular sale, the title company reviews the recorded claims that affect the transaction.
The County Sheriff conducts sheriff sales of foreclosed properties in Jefferson County. Check a specific notice, case status, or sale date with the office or court that issued it.
When property taxes go unpaid, the county can put the house up for a tax sale, and the county's notice gives the date. If a sale closes before that date, the delinquent taxes may be paid from the proceeds if enough money remains after other liens and closing costs. A sale agreement alone does not resolve the tax claim. Call us as soon as a notice arrives; timing matters. (Real Estate Tax Sale Law, §§601–603.)
