When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, county office, or other creditor confirms the current payoff amount and instructions. The title company works those figures into the closing so the settlement statement shows the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and what remains for you. Our closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
If you have them, bring the property address, parcel number, tax notice or account information, mortgage statement, payoff letter, lien notice, court paper, or tax-sale certificate. The County Treasurer can check the property-tax account and tax-sale status; the creditor supplies its payoff amount; and the title company checks the land records and closing requirements. Start with whatever you have. You can call before you have it all together.
A lien is a legal 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 to satisfy that claim. Those figures can change, so the responsible office or creditor confirms the current amount for the transaction.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
You can start with a conversation about the house and the records you have. There is no need to settle every county or lender question before you call.
Tell us the Scottsbluff address, the condition of the house, and what you know about the tax or lien issue. A notice, payoff quote, or parcel number is useful, but you can start with the information you have.
We review the house as it stands and give you written offer terms to consider before you commit. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims. The lender, County Treasurer, or other creditor confirms the current payoff and any release instructions that apply to the property.

For a tax balance or tax-sale notice, ask the County Treasurer about the specific parcel. For recorded land documents, use the Register of Deeds. The office that holds a record can confirm its own information; the title company checks how the records affect a sale.
Use the Treasurer for the property-tax account, current balance, payment status, and tax-sale information. The county's FAQ says real-estate tax installments become delinquent on May 1 and September 1; confirm the amount and status for the parcel with the office.
This office maintains and secures county land records. Use it for recorded deeds, mortgages, and other land documents. Recorded documents are public records; the title company checks which ones affect the sale.
Nebraska uses a tax-sale certificate process for delinquent real-estate taxes. If the taxes remain unpaid by the first Monday in March after they become delinquent, the property may be subject to tax sale. The purchaser receives a tax-sale certificate, which creates a lien; it is not the same as a lender's mortgage foreclosure or an immediate transfer of ownership. Ask the Treasurer whether a certificate or sale notice exists for the property and what amount is currently due.

A mortgage foreclosure is a separate process under the loan documents and Nebraska law. See the Scottsbluff foreclosure page for the mortgage-foreclosure path.
Nebraska charges documentary stamp tax when a deed transfers real estate. The seller who signs the deed owes it under state law. The rate is $3.32 for each $1,000 of value or part of $1,000 for transfers before January 1, 2032; the rate is set to drop to $2.32 beginning then. The county Register of Deeds collects the tax when the deed is recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
