How tax and lien payoffs work
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 title or the money due at closing. The payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. The title company checks the property records and gets the current payoff or release information for the sale.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
Records and a next step
The property address is enough to start. If you have a parcel number, tax bill or notice, lender payoff statement, court paper or case number, deed, mortgage, or sale notice, tell us what you have. You can call before you have everything.
The Pope County Tax Collector handles property-tax accounts. The Circuit Clerk keeps court and land records. The title company checks which recorded claims apply and confirms payoff instructions for the sale.
If the payoff is more than the house is worth
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Tax-sale, mortgage-foreclosure, and transfer-tax facts
Pope County tax-delinquent land auctions
Pope County's Tax Collector page links to real-estate land auctions handled by the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands. A tax-delinquent land auction is different from a lender's mortgage foreclosure or a court foreclosure sale. Call us — we'll sort out what your notice means.
Mortgage foreclosure and court records
Arkansas allows nonjudicial foreclosure under the Statutory Foreclosure Act. The trustee or lender must record the required notice of default, give and publish the required notices, and wait through the statutory minimum period. A judicial foreclosure goes through court and may carry a right to reclaim the property after the sale unless that right was validly waived. The deed of trust, notices, any waiver, and court record help show which process applies and what dates are involved. Call us — we'll sort out which process and dates apply.
Pope County's judicial-sales page links to Arkansas CaseInfo for court-case information.
Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax
Arkansas's Department of Finance and Administration sets the Real Property Transfer Tax at $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration for a deed or other writing conveying realty when the transaction exceeds $100.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax.
