Can you sell a house with tax liens or fines?

To keep the answer short…YES! BUTTTTT

Here are the stipulations.

  1. Before the title change hands, the property taxes and fines MUST BE PAID IN FULL! The seller must bring the TOTAL AMOUNT of what is owed to the closing table
  2. The seller can pay the FULL AMOUNT OWED from proceeds received at the closing.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF PAYING OFF TAX LIENS AND FINES

  • Let’s say you are selling your house for $100,000, and you still owe $80,000 on current mortgagee
  • There is a tax lien or fines totaling $5,000.
  • At the closing table, both your mortgage, fines and property tax lien must be paid from the $100,000.
  • This means you will walk away from closing with a  $15,000 check.
