Collin County and Denton County can place liens on properties with delinquent property taxes. Penalties and interest compound aggressively — sometimes exceeding 47% by the second year. We can help you sell before the county pursues a tax foreclosure on your Allen home.
In Texas, county authorities possess the power to foreclose on tax-delinquent properties. Once a lien is placed for unpaid property taxes, penalties and interest begin accumulating at a steep rate. By the second year of delinquency, the combined penalties can surpass 47% of the original tax obligation. The county may also initiate a lawsuit to compel a tax sale. At that point, your home could be auctioned for a fraction of its true value, and every dollar of equity evaporates. Taking decisive action before the county escalates its enforcement protects both your investment and your creditworthiness.
Allen homeowners confronting tax liens can consider: (1) Settle the overdue taxes — The most straightforward solution if financially feasible, but penalties make the total increasingly expensive as time passes. (2) Sell to our cash-buying team — We account for the full lien payoff in our offer. The title company satisfies the liens at closing, and you receive whatever net proceeds remain. (3) Arrange a county payment plan — The county does offer installment agreements for delinquent balances, though penalties continue accruing throughout. (4) Do nothing and risk tax foreclosure — Strongly discouraged. You stand to forfeit all equity in the property.
Our cash offer is structured to cover the tax lien payoff, ensuring you still walk away with money in your pocket. The title company manages lien clearance as part of the standard closing procedure, making the transaction seamless. You sidestep the threat of a tax foreclosure auction where your property could change hands for pennies on the dollar.
We pull a comprehensive title report, identify every outstanding lien, and incorporate the payoff amounts into our offer. At the closing table, the title company remits payment directly to satisfy the tax liens, and you collect the remaining balance. The full process can conclude in as little as 7 to 14 days.
