Williamsport, PA · Lycoming County foreclosure information
Yes. You can ask us to review your Williamsport house before a mortgage foreclosure sale, and you can call us now to talk through the situation.

Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the property.
Share the property address and the notice or sale information you have. We will call to discuss the next step.

We review the Williamsport house as it stands and talk through the mortgage notice, payoff, title, and timing details with you. Use the lender, title company, court, sheriff, or housing counselor for the legal or account question that belongs to that office.
You won't be doing this alone. We've been through this many times and we move fast. Our agreement of sale will often stop a sheriff's sale. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think — call us and we'll walk you through it.
A mortgage foreclosure sheriff sale and a delinquent-tax sale are separate processes. Lycoming County Tax Claim administers upset sales for delinquent real-estate taxes and later judicial sales for properties not sold at upset sale. The notice and the office named in it tell you which process you need to follow.
You get a way to put the questions in order: read the current notice, identify the live sale process, compare the payoff and title information, and decide whether you want to discuss written sale terms. A buyer call or offer does not itself create a legal stay.
Have a sale notice, court paper, or payoff letter in hand? Bring what you have. We'll talk through the property, the date shown, and what still needs to be confirmed.
The steps follow the property and the actual notice. You can start with what you know while the lender, county offices, title company, and counselor confirm the details that belong to them.
Share the Williamsport address, the lender or servicer, what the notice says, any sale or court information, the payoff details you have, and the timing that is worrying you. Tell us about occupancy or ownership questions too.
We discuss the house as it stands, the foreclosure information you have, and the facts that may affect a sale. Any proposed sale terms are put in writing so you can read them before deciding instead of relying on a verbal number.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims. The lender or servicer confirms the current mortgage payoff. Lycoming County offices provide the current sheriff or tax-sale information, and a PHFA counselor or attorney answers the assistance or legal question that belongs to them.
You review the written settlement figures with the closing team. The title company confirms the final numbers, including the mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, and other closing items. If the terms, authority, title, and timing are ready, closing follows the title-company process.
The county foreclosure and Tax Claim sources cover Lycoming County. Williamsport City, South Williamsport Borough, Loyalsock Township, and Old Lycoming Township are separate municipalities, so use the property's actual municipality for any additional local notice. The county's Greater Williamsport planning material distinguishes those places.
Current county guidance says real-estate Sheriff sales occur online through RealForeclose and bidders register before the sale. Use this page for the current property information, changing dates, and sale procedures. The county lists 570-327-2220 for this division.
This office collects delinquent real-estate taxes turned over by county tax collectors and school districts. Use its tax-sale information for the current upset-sale and judicial-sale process. The county lists 570-327-2301 for Tax Claim.
Use the Assessment Office for assessment and valuation records. Its property database provides parcel records. Assessment is not the office that collects delinquent taxes.
This office records and preserves real-estate documents. It is a starting point for recorded-deed questions; the title company reviews complete ownership and recorded-claim information before closing.
HEMAP is a repayable mortgage-assistance loan program for qualifying Pennsylvania homeowners, not a grant. PHFA provides the counselor directory, Act 91 timing information, and program exclusions. A buyer call or offer does not itself pause foreclosure, and HEMAP is not a tax-sale stay.
This office serves Clinton and Lycoming counties. Free civil legal assistance depends on the legal issue, household income, residence, and acceptance after intake. See the legal-topics overview or call 877-953-4250 to ask about intake.
A notice or sale date can change, so use the live papers and current county information rather than a copied date. These are the stages to identify for the Williamsport property.
Read the lender's notice, including whether it is an Act 91 notice. PHFA says a recipient should meet a designated counselor within 33 days of the notice date. HEMAP approval is conditional, and timely application steps can hold foreclosure action during processing under that program. Use the actual notice and a PHFA counselor for case-specific timing.
The case papers may move through a court filing, judgment, execution, and notice of sale. Pennsylvania Rule 3129.2 generally requires sheriff handbills and specified written notices at least 30 days before an execution sale. That is a notice requirement, not a universal seller deadline or a promise about how much time remains; check the live docket, notice, and any postponement or order.
Lycoming County's Real Estate Division says real-estate Sheriff sales occur online through RealForeclose, with bidder registration before the sale. Use the current county page and the property's notice for the live date and instructions; do not rely on a date copied from a general page.

A lender or servicer provides the current mortgage payoff, while the title company checks ownership, recorded claims, taxes, and other settlement items. A proposed sale does not replace the court, sheriff, lender, title, or assistance process. A buyer call or offer does not itself create a legal stay.
Lycoming County Tax Claim collects delinquent real-estate taxes and administers upset sales. A property not sold at upset sale can move into a later, separately court-ordered judicial sale. This is distinct from a mortgage foreclosure sale handled through the Sheriff's Real Estate Division.
Call the Lycoming County Tax Claim Bureau with the actual parcel and notice to ask about the current tax account, payoff, sale status, and next step. For delinquent-tax questions, call the Tax Claim Bureau rather than the Assessment Office, and do not assume HEMAP or a mortgage-assistance application stops a tax sale.

A sale price is not the same as what you keep. The title company and closing team review the mortgage payoff, delinquent taxes, liens, applicable transfer taxes, and other settlement items. Pennsylvania Revenue describes a 1% state realty transfer tax on a taxable transfer plus an applicable local share; exemptions and transaction treatment vary.

Yes. You can start a conversation and property review before a mortgage foreclosure sheriff's sale. A buyer's call or offer does not itself create a legal stay, so compare the lender's notice, the live court docket, the current sheriff information, and any advice from your attorney or housing counselor.
A mortgage foreclosure can move through lender notices, court papers, judgment or execution, and a sheriff-sale notice. Lycoming County says its real-estate Sheriff sales are online through RealForeclose and bidders register before the sale. Check the current Sheriff's Real Estate Division page and your notice for the property's date and procedure; this page does not give a scheduled date.
Lycoming County Tax Claim administers upset sales for delinquent real-estate taxes and later judicial sales for properties not sold at upset sale. That process is separate from a Sheriff's mortgage-foreclosure sale. Call the Tax Claim Bureau about the actual parcel, payoff, and notice; do not assume a mortgage-assistance program stops a tax sale.
HEMAP is a repayable mortgage-assistance loan from PHFA, not a grant. If you receive an Act 91 notice, PHFA says to meet a designated counselor within 33 days of the notice date. Timely application steps can hold foreclosure action during processing, but approval is conditional; FHA Title II mortgages are ineligible and some mortgages have different notice rules. Use the actual notice and a PHFA counselor for the deadline. A buyer call or unsigned agreement does not create that protection.
