When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. An older statement may not show what is due on the closing date. The title company requests current payoff or release information for the transaction, and the confirmed figures are shown in the closing paperwork.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs. The current amount due depends on the property records and the information supplied by the office or creditor that holds the account.
Call with the property address, even if you do not have the rest yet. A recent tax statement or notice, parcel number, creditor payoff statement, court or judgment case number, and any recorded lien document can help identify the right account.
Williams County's Property Information page links parcel cards and property data. The County Recorder handles documents affecting real-property title and related indexes; contact that office for full legal-description routing. The office cards below link to the right county or city contact for each question.
As a sale moves forward, the title company checks the property records and requests current payoff or release instructions from the creditor or office involved. You do not need to assemble every document before speaking with us.

A county property-tax account or tax-sale notice is different from a mortgage-foreclosure notice. For a county tax account, start with the Williams County Treasurer; for a tax-sale notice, contact the county office identified on that notice to confirm its current status and dates. A mortgage foreclosure concerns the lender and court record; check the lender notice and Northwest District Court record with the Clerk of District Court. Do not use one notice or account to infer the status of the other.
North Dakota has no state, county, or city tax on the transfer of real property. The state constitution bars governments from imposing a mortgage, sales, or transfer tax on real property. For a deed to be recorded, the buyer or buyer's agent must certify on the deed the full price paid or a statutory exemption; the County Recorder cannot record it without that statement.

“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. The current figures and instructions are checked as the sale moves forward, so you can call before you have every record.

No. A county property-tax notice and a mortgage lender or court notice concern different records and processes. Ask the county office named on a tax notice about its current status; for a mortgage-foreclosure case, check the lender notice and Northwest District Court record with the Clerk of District Court.
