A lien is a claim that can affect a property's title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office gives to satisfy an obligation. An older bill or recorded document may not show the current balance or release instructions.
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 confirms the current amount it is owed and its instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction and works with the responsible party on payoff information. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items in the closing figures.
Start with the St. Joseph property address. If they are handy, gather the parcel number, latest property-tax bill or notice, mortgage payoff statement, lien or court notice, creditor name, deed, and any tax-sale or foreclosure notice. You do not need a complete file before calling 888-274-5006 or using the form above. The lender, creditor, or county office named on a notice confirms its current account or balance; the title company checks the transaction records.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
The first step is a conversation, not a complete file. If you want to continue, you see the written offer and terms before deciding; title and payoff checks lead into the closing figures.
Tell us the St. Joseph address, what is going on, and what you know about the lien or tax notice. Start with what you have; you do not need to work out the payoff before calling.

St. Joseph is in Buchanan County, but an address alone does not confirm a parcel's tax account or recorded-document details. The City's City/County GIS map helps orient you; use county records to confirm the parcel and the office handling its account.
Use the County's official website to find the office handling a property-tax account or tax-sale notice. Ask about the parcel and current status shown on the notice; the current balance and instructions come from the office handling that account.
Use the County's official website to find its Recorder of Deeds for recorded deed, mortgage, or lien-document questions. A recorded document is not a current payoff quote; the creditor or tax office confirms the amount and instructions to satisfy a debt.
For a City property-maintenance or nuisance-code notice, contact the City's Code Enforcement office at 1100 Frederick Avenue, Room 405, or 816-271-4620. The City lists weekday hours of 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Open the City/County GIS map to orient a property's location. A property-tax sale and a lender's mortgage foreclosure are separate processes: use the tax notice and County office for the tax matter, and the lender or trustee named on a mortgage notice for that matter.
Missouri's Constitution bars state, county, and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed-recording fees still apply: state law sets $5 for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges for the documents in your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That is separate from your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate items in the closing figures.
