A lien is a legal claim that can affect a property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office to settle an obligation. An older bill or statement is a useful starting point, but the creditor or office confirms the current figure and payment or release instructions.

The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale. The creditor or county office confirms its current payoff information, and the closing figures show how agreed payoffs are handled. If a balance affects whether the sale can close, the current figures and any arrangement for that transaction need to be addressed before closing.
Start with the Youngstown property address and parcel number if you have it. A current property-tax bill or notice, lender payoff statement, lien or court paper, creditor or case number, and any sale notice can help. The office or creditor named on the current notice confirms its balance and instructions; the title company checks the property records. You do not have to assemble everything before you call.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Ohio law provides a court process for delinquent real-estate taxes. That tax matter is separate from a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure case. Follow the current tax bill or notice and the office or court named on it for tax status; check the lender and court record for a mortgage case. One does not establish the status or deadline of the other.

Ohio calls the charge on a real-estate transfer a conveyance fee. State law sets a fee of $1 per $1,000 of value, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. That statewide rule does not establish the amount for a specific parcel: confirm the applicable county amount and how it appears in the closing figures with the county Auditor and title company. For a parcel in Mahoning County, use the Mahoning County Auditor.
See the state fee in Ohio Revised Code § 319.54 and county fees in Ohio Revised Code § 322.02.

Here's what sellers in Youngstown have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”

No. A delinquent-property-tax matter and a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure case are separate. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through the court. Check a tax notice with the county office or court named on it, and check mortgage-foreclosure papers against the current court case and lender or Sheriff notice.
