Sell a House with Back Property Taxes or Tax Liens in Omaha

Back property taxes are the kind of problem that gets quieter and more expensive at the same time. Nobody knocks on the door. The balance just grows with interest and fees until the notice from the county treasurer says something you can't put off any longer.

Nebraska property taxes are heavy relative to what a house is worth, so a missed year compounds fast. Delinquent parcels in Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, and Washington County go on a published list and get sold as tax certificates at the county treasurer's sale in the spring. The certificate holder doesn't own your house, but they earn interest on it and, after enough time without redemption, can move toward a deed. Meanwhile escrow shortages spike the mortgage payment, an inherited house nobody claimed keeps accruing, and a state or IRS lien attaches on top. A cash sale clears it in one move. Title pulls the taxes, certificates, and any recorded liens, and every one of them is paid off out of the proceeds at closing — the same way a mortgage payoff works — and whatever is left over is yours. We buy any condition, as-is: no repairs, no cleaning, no fees or commissions, and we cover standard closing costs. Cash offer in 24 hours, you pick the closing date.

Frequently Asked Questions

The county already sold a tax certificate on our house. Is it too late to sell it?+

Usually not. A tax certificate isn't a transfer of ownership — it gives the holder a lien plus interest and a path to a deed if nobody redeems it, so you generally still have a redemption window and the right to sell. The certificate gets redeemed at closing out of the proceeds like any other payoff. The one thing that matters is time: the further along the process runs, the more it costs to unwind, so get a number on the house now rather than after the next notice.

Do we have to pay the back taxes off before you'll buy the house?+

No. Don't scrape money together to bring the taxes current — that's the whole point of selling this way. The title company orders a tax certification from the county, the delinquent balance and any certificate redemption come out of the sale proceeds at closing, and you sign and walk. If the payoff is larger than what the house will bring, we'll tell you that straight instead of running you in circles.

There's an IRS lien and a state tax lien against me personally. Can those still be cleared at closing?+

Often yes, and it's more common than people think. Personal tax liens attach to real property you own, so title finds them and they get handled in the payoff along with the property taxes. Federal liens sometimes need a discharge or subordination request, which adds time to the calendar — that's exactly why we let you choose the closing date instead of forcing a deadline. Tell us up front what's out there so nothing surprises the title company late.

Our escrow came up short after the assessed value jumped and now we're behind. Would selling actually help?+

It can, and it's worth pricing out before you drain savings. A reassessment raises the escrow, the servicer spreads the shortage across twelve months, and a payment that already fit gets tight for reasons that have nothing to do with how you've managed the house. A no-obligation cash offer tells you what the equity is actually worth today so you can compare it against carrying the higher payment. The offer we make is the offer you get — no renegotiating at closing.

What areas do you serve?+

Omaha and the surrounding metro: Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Elkhorn, Gretna, Millard, Ralston, Council Bluffs, and the rest of Sarpy and Douglas counties.
