How lien and tax payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Your lender or other creditor gives its current payoff amount and instructions. The Boone County Treasurer can answer questions about a property-tax bill. We work with the title company on recorded claims and payoff details as the sale moves forward.
Records and your next step
Start with the Zionsville address and any recent mortgage or lien statement, tax bill, or notice you have. You can call before you have everything.
A creditor or the Treasurer can give you a current balance. Boone County’s Recorder keeps recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, and other real-estate documents. We work with the title company to review the records and coordinate payoff details for closing.
