Tax Delinquency or Liens? We Can Still Buy Your House

Back property taxes and liens can feel like they’ve backed you into a corner, but they don’t have to stop a sale. We regularly work through tax delinquency and lien situations as part of closing — often those amounts are simply settled out of the proceeds at closing.

How We Handle It

Every situation is a little different depending on how much is owed and to whom, but in most cases we can find a path to closing that works for you.

• We work with title companies to identify and resolve outstanding liens as part of the closing process.
• Back taxes are typically settled directly from the sale proceeds at closing — you don’t pay out of pocket first.
• No repairs needed — we buy the property as-is regardless of its tax status.
• Fast closings help stop additional penalties and interest from accruing.

If back taxes or a lien are making you think you can’t sell, reach out — there’s a good chance we can still make it work.

Understanding What Is Recorded Against Your House

Unpaid Property Taxes in Clark County

Property taxes in Clark County are collected by the County Treasurer, and penalties and interest are added when installments go unpaid. If taxes stay delinquent long enough, the county can eventually move toward selling the property. The Treasurer's office can give you an exact payoff amount, which is a useful number to have before talking to any buyer.

HOA, Contractor, and Judgment Liens

Besides taxes, a house can carry liens from an HOA for unpaid dues, from contractors who were not paid for work, or from court judgments. In Nevada, HOA liens can carry significant weight, so they deserve prompt attention. Each one must be paid or otherwise resolved at closing so the buyer receives clear title.

Federal Tax Liens and Nevada Homeowners

Nevada has no state income tax, so the tax liens Nevada homeowners run into are usually property tax or federal IRS liens. An IRS lien attaches to property you own and generally must be addressed in a sale. A CPA or tax attorney can explain your options, including whether the IRS will release or discharge the lien.

How a Title Search Turns Up Every Lien

Before closing, the title company searches public records and produces a report listing what is recorded against the property. That report shows exactly who must be paid. Many sellers learn about an old lien for the first time this way. Our article on title and closing expenses explains this step, and how it works covers the rest.

When the Liens Add Up to More Than the House Is Worth

If the total owed exceeds the home's value, a standard sale may not cover everything. Some lienholders negotiate reduced payoffs; other times a different structure is worth discussing. An attorney can advise on your rights. Our page on selling with little or no equity describes options we can talk through with you.
