When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The amount to satisfy a lien or back-tax account is separate from closing costs. The creditor or tax office provides its current balance and payment instructions; the title company checks recorded claims and coordinates the payoff information for closing. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items.
A creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and instructions. The title company checks recorded property claims and coordinates payoff details for closing. A recent property-tax bill or notice, lien or court notice, mortgage statement, written payoff, creditor name, and parcel, account, or case number can help. Start with what you know; you can call before you have everything.
For recorded property documents, see the Tulare County Clerk-Recorder. For a property-tax account or notice, contact the Tulare County Tax Collector.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Share the Visalia address, what you know about the lien or tax balance, and any notice or date that concerns you. You do not have to resolve the records before calling.
We discuss the house as it stands and put the offer and terms in writing before you decide. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The title company reviews ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The relevant creditor or tax office confirms its current payoff and release instructions so the closing figures can be prepared.
Review the written sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other settlement figures with the title company. The title company handles the closing and follows the confirmed instructions for the transaction.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
Visalia is in Tulare County. City-limit orientation does not determine the jurisdiction for a particular parcel, so confirm the address with the relevant county or city office before relying on it.
A delinquent property-tax account or county tax-sale notice is separate from a mortgage foreclosure. For a tax account or tax-sale notice, ask the Tulare County Tax Collector about the parcel's current account and status. For a mortgage notice, check the lender, servicer, or trustee named on it. The California Courts guide to nonjudicial foreclosures explains that separate mortgage process.
California counties charge documentary transfer tax at $0.55 for each $500 of taxable consideration, or fraction of $500 ($1.10 per $1,000). It applies when consideration is over $100, excluding a lien or loan that remains on the property after the sale. A city may receive a credited share of the county rate, while some cities add a larger tax on top. The title company or escrow can confirm the property's taxable amount and any city tax. See California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11911 and section 11931 on city tax allocation. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
