FAQ
Bloomingburg back taxes owed questions.
- Will Home Posted pay off the back taxes on my Bloomingburg house?
- Yes, all unpaid property taxes are paid in full at closing by the title company from the sale proceeds before the seller gets the remainder. You don't pay anything out of pocket.
- What if I owe more in back taxes than the house is worth?
- Then there's no equity for you, but we can still sometimes negotiate with the taxing authority for a discounted payoff. It's case-by-case, submit your address and we'll tell you what's possible.
- How long until the county can foreclose on a tax lien in New York?
- Varies by state, but generally 1–4 years of delinquency before the taxing authority can hold a tax-lien or tax-deed sale. Don't wait, the longer you wait the higher the penalties and interest stack up.
- Can I sell if there's already a tax-lien sale scheduled?
- Often yes, if there's still a "right of redemption" window. We've closed Bloomingburg deals days before the scheduled tax sale. Faster the better.
- How fast can a sale close?
- a timeline based on the contract and title work for a clean tax-delinquent house. Title company pulls a tax certificate, calculates the payoff, and wires the taxing authority at closing.
