When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Washington, Pennsylvania, and throughout Washington County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can call about the property before you have every tax or lien record.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the house and the notice or payoff information you have.
Share the property address and whatever you have about a tax notice, payoff, creditor, lien, or tax account. You do not need to sort out every balance before calling.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us the address and what you know about the notice, payoff, creditor, or tax account.
Prefer to call? 888-274-5006.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or county tax office confirms the current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims, then uses the confirmed information in the closing paperwork. Back taxes, mortgage balances, liens, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
A recent tax bill or Tax Claim notice, parcel number, creditor payoff statement, mortgage information, court or lien paper, and deed record can help identify the issue. Bring what you have; you can call before every document is gathered. The creditor or tax office holding the account confirms its current balance, while the title company reviews ownership and recorded claims for the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with the Washington address and what you know about the tax claim, lien, or lender payoff. You do not have to solve the record before calling.
We put the proposed offer and sale terms in writing before you commit. Review the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before deciding whether to proceed.
The title company reviews ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The creditor or tax office provides current payoff information and instructions; the title company uses those details to prepare the settlement figures.
Review the sale price, payoffs, taxes, and other applicable settlement items with the title company before the title-company closing.
Use the office that handles the record or notice you have. County tax claims, county recorded documents, and City tax questions have separate contacts.
The County Tax Revenue Department lists Assessment and Claims as separate functions; Claims handles delinquent taxes. Ask the County which desk has the tax record or notice for your property. The department is at Crossroads Center, 95 W. Beau Street, Suite 525, Washington, PA 15301. Call 724-228-6850.
Use this office for deeds, mortgages, and other recorded-document questions. It is at 95 W. Beau Street, Suite 520, Washington, PA 15301. Call 724-228-6806. A recorded document search is not a current payoff statement; the creditor or tax office confirms its balance.
For a City tax question, City Hall is at 55 West Maiden Street, Washington, PA 15301. The City Departments page lists a Tax Office line at 724-223-4220, while the Tax Department page lists 724-223-4216. The City labels the contacts differently; ask which office handles the tax category on your notice.
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, 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. (Pennsylvania Real Estate Tax Sale Law, §§601–603.)
A mortgage foreclosure is a separate lender process, not the County's tax-sale process. Check the notice and date for each matter separately; contact the lender or an attorney about mortgage-foreclosure papers.
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty-transfer tax on taxable transfers. A local tax may also apply; the applicable amount depends on the property's municipality, school district, and transaction. The title or closing professional can confirm the tax lines and exemptions for the property. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Use the Washington home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimates for value, mortgage payoff, liens or taxes, repairs, and closing costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
