Can I sell land with back taxes without paying them first?

Yes, we can pay them at closing. We verify the payoff with the county treasurer and include it in our offer. Your taxes get cleared from the proceeds. You get your net in cash. This works even when penalties are accruing at 16% annually.

How fast can you stop a county tax lien sale in Arizona?

We can move the same day. If you contact us before the cutoff, we redeem or post funds to halt the auction. We coordinate directly with the treasurer. We've saved sales in Maricopa and Pima with less than 48 hours left.

Will back taxes hurt my credit if I wait?

Delinquent taxes can damage credit. Counties record liens that appear in public records. If a mortgage foreclosure follows, you risk long-term score drops and possible deficiency judgments. We act quickly so the record shows taxes paid and the lien released.

What if there’s an IRS or state tax lien tied to the land?

We obtain payoff or release letters. Our team requests an IRS Certificate of Discharge or state lien release when appropriate. We negotiate amounts and timing. Then we clear everything at closing so title companies will insure the transfer.

How do you price land with back taxes buyers offers?

We back into your net. We start with today's as-is cash value, subtract the verified tax payoff, liens, and closing costs, then show your net. You'll see each line. No surprises, just clear numbers for selling land with back taxes in Arizona.

Can you stop a county tax lien sale if I'm behind on Arizona property taxes?

**Often, yes.** Arizona charges a 16% annual penalty, and counties sell liens after roughly 3–5 years. We pay the Treasurer directly, clear interest and fees, and close before auction. This protects your credit and avoids deficiency judgments across Phoenix, Tucson, and statewide.

What happens if I don't pay Arizona property taxes on my land?

**Penalties stack fast.** Arizona adds 16% annually, then counties auction tax liens. Investors pay your bill, then foreclose if you don't redeem in three years. Your credit drops 100+ points, and you may owe a deficiency. We buy quickly, pay the taxes, and stop the cycle.

Will you pay my back taxes and still pay me cash?

**Yes, we pay taxes at closing.** We contact the county Treasurer, calculate the payoff with penalties and interest, then deduct it from proceeds. You still walk with cash, avoid foreclosure, and protect your credit from Mesa to Yuma.

Can you buy land with both property taxes and IRS liens?

**We handle federal and state tax liens.** IRS liens attach to all property. We verify lien priority, negotiate Certificate of Discharge or subordination, and clear payoffs at closing. Title companies need those releases. We've resolved complex tax stacks in Chandler, Gilbert, and across Arizona.

How fast can you close if the tax lien auction is scheduled?

**We move before the auction.** Once we verify the payoff amount and auction date, we can close in 7–14 days. Speed depends on title work and your availability. We've stopped auctions days before the sale from Scottsdale to rural counties.

Why Land With Back Taxes is Hard to Sell Traditionally

Traditional buyers back away when property taxes are delinquent. Realtors hate listing land with back taxes because deals drag and fall apart. Title companies pause closings until every lien, interest charge, and county notice gets resolved.

Most buyers need financing. Banks won't lend when taxes are delinquent or a tax lien sale is looming. In Arizona, penalties rack up at 16% annually, while counties move toward the treasurer’s auction timeline.

Waiting costs real money. Property taxes keep bleeding, legal letters pile up, and brush clearing in 110° heat isn't cheap. In HOA subdivisions, dues and fines stack, and water rights or well issues scare buyers along I-10, I-17, and Loop 101.

It's stressful opening county notices and IRS letters. Arizona counties can move from first delinquency to lien sale or foreclosure in three to five years. Miss deadlines, and interest snowballs, credit scores drop, and mortgage foreclosures can trigger deficiency judgments after auction.

How We Buy Land With Back Taxes in Arizona

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Property

Fill out our quick form (takes 60 seconds) or call Nathan directly at 928-928-4109. Share the APN, county, acreage, and how many years of back taxes are owed on the land with back taxes. If you're out of state or inherited it, we handle everything by phone and email.

Step 2: Get Your Cash Offer in 24 Hours

We research title, pull county tax records, and call the treasurer for exact payoff, including the 16% penalty. We also look for IRS or state liens, HOA dues, and any road access notes. We value the dirt based on recent cash sales near I-10, I-17, Loop 101, and rural comps in Pinal, Yavapai, and Mohave. You'll see our numbers line by line, including tax payoff, closing costs, and your net.

Step 3: We Handle the Tax Payoff and Liens

We coordinate redemption with the county, negotiate with lienholders, and request lien releases or subordinations when needed. If a treasurer’s auction is scheduled, we step in fast to stop the sale before the deadline. When a tax lien certificate exists, we redeem directly from the certificate holder and can quiet title after closing if required.

Step 4: Close on Your Timeline

Pick a date in 7 to 30 days. We pay all closing costs, wire your funds, and record the deed after taxes are cleared. Most sellers with land with back taxes choose 14 to 21 days. We close with Arizona escrow and title when insurable, or attorney escrow when taxes created title issues.

Common Land With Back Taxes Situations We Handle

Three years delinquent, auction looming - We contact the treasurer, verify redemption, and pay the full payoff to stop the sale, then close fast.
IRS or Arizona DOR lien attached - We request lien payoff letters or partial releases and coordinate closing once clearances are issued.
HOA dues stacked on top of taxes - We negotiate HOA lien reductions, combine with tax payoff, and deliver a clean transfer at closing.
Inherited land with back taxes - We work with the estate attorney, handle probate court requirements, and prevent taxes from eating estate funds.
Landlocked parcel owing taxes - We still buy, redeem the lien, and sort easement issues later without delaying your sale.
Title issues from past generations - We clear affidavits, resolve judgment liens, and use curative title methods after tax redemption.

Recent example: Pinal County, two heirs, four years delinquent, HOA lien, and a pending treasurer auction. We redeemed, settled the HOA, closed in 18 days, and wired both heirs their shares.

Common Land Selling Situations

No matter your situation, we can help. We specialize in solving complex land ownership challenges across Arizona.
