A property tax, IRS, or state tax lien on a Clay County home can feel like it blocks any sale. Usually it doesn't. Liens are typically paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, and we buy houses with liens already attached.

Selling With Liens in Clay County
When you sell, a Florida title company researches recorded liens and, in most cases, pays them from the proceeds at closing so title can transfer clear. That can include delinquent property taxes or certain government liens. We buy Clay County homes with liens in place. We are not CPAs or attorneys, so for what a specific lien means for you. Especially an IRS lien or a looming tax-deed sale. A tax professional or attorney should advise you.
