- 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.
