Can I sell land with existing liens in Arizona?

Yes, you can sell. We buy properties with land liens every week. We negotiate payoffs, then escrow pays lienholders at closing. If needed, we use holdbacks while final releases record. You get paid once title is insurable and the liens are satisfied or waived.

What happens if I’m behind on Arizona property taxes?

The 16% penalty stacks fast. Counties can sell tax lien certificates, and foreclosure can follow in 3–5 years. We redeem before auction or foreclosure, stop interest, and roll payoffs into closing. You avoid the auction, extra fees, and ongoing notices.

Title company says they won’t insure because of liens. Now what?

Title companies block closings when land liens remain. We clear the file by getting written payoff letters, negotiating releases, and curing any chain-of-title issues. For stubborn liens, we arrange court-approved resolutions with your attorney. Once liens clear or are insured over, we close.

Do HOA or mechanics liens expire if I wait?

Waiting usually costs more. HOAs can escalate fines and pursue foreclosure under Arizona statutes. Mechanics liens can be enforced if timely recorded and sued upon. We don’t gamble on deadlines. We contact the claimant, verify validity, and settle before costs spike.

Can you buy during probate or divorce when liens exist?

Yes, with proper approvals. Arizona probate may require court authorization and personal representative signatures. Divorce sales need both spouses or a court order under community property rules. We coordinate with your attorney, clear land liens, and pay everyone due at closing.

Can you buy Arizona land with mechanics, HOA, or judgment liens?

**Yes, we clear liens at closing.** Title companies refuse to insure with unresolved liens. We verify priority, order payoff statements, negotiate reductions, and fund payoffs from proceeds. You don't front cash. We handle mechanics, HOA, judgment, and tax liens from Phoenix to Tucson.

What if there are multiple liens on my Arizona property?

**We untangle lien stacks.** Senior liens get paid first (property taxes, IRS), then junior liens (mechanics, HOA, judgments). We coordinate with attorneys, negotiate discounts, and secure releases. Title companies need clean title, and we deliver it across Mesa, Chandler, and statewide.

Will you pay HOA liens and back dues at closing?

**We pay HOA balances.** Arizona HOAs can foreclose for unpaid dues and assessments. We request a demand letter, verify total owed, negotiate when possible, and pay at closing. You avoid foreclosure, protect your credit, and walk with net proceeds from Gilbert to Scottsdale.

Can you buy land with IRS or state tax liens attached?

**We handle federal and state liens.** IRS liens attach to all property and must be addressed for clear title. We verify lien amounts, request Certificate of Discharge or subordination, and coordinate payoffs. We've resolved complex tax liens in Tempe, Peoria, and across Arizona.

How long does it take to clear liens and close?

**Typically 14–30 days.** We order payoff statements, negotiate with lienholders, and coordinate releases. Complex stacks (multiple IRS, mechanics, and judgment liens) can take longer. Once releases arrive, we close and wire your net proceeds from Glendale to rural counties.

Why Land Liens is Hard to Sell Traditionally

Traditional buyers shy away from land liens. Realtors in Arizona often avoid listings with mechanics, HOA, IRS, or judgment liens because title companies won’t insure until they’re cleared. Financing dies the moment a lien pops on the title report.

While you wait, the property bleeds money. Arizona slaps a 16% annual penalty on delinquent taxes, and counties can move toward a tax lien sale in 3–5 years. HOAs stack fines, brush clearing costs add up, and the summer heat doesn’t pause those bills.

The stress is real. You get certified letters, calls from creditors, and pressure from heirs or ex-spouses. Neighbor fights over easements flare up, water rights questions stall buyers, and out-of-state owners feel stuck managing Arizona problems from afar.

Normal solutions don’t work with land liens. Cash buyers vanish when they learn about lien priority or IRS payoff rules. Lenders refuse raw land without legal access, and title companies won’t close until every lienholder signs off. Even solid offers collapse when BLM or state trust land blocks access and historical claims are disputed.
