📬 What If I’m Behind on Property Taxes in Virginia?

Falling behind on property taxes in Virginia can feel overwhelming—and the longer you wait, the worse it gets.

The good news? You still have options.

At The Cash Offer Company, we’ve helped homeowners across Virginia sell their homes fast before they lose them to tax foreclosure.

Here’s what you need to know if you’re behind—and how we can help.


⚠️ What Happens If You Don’t Pay Property Taxes in Virginia?

In Virginia, unpaid property taxes become a lien on your home. If they stay unpaid long enough, your county or city can take legal action to sell the property at auction.

Here’s how it works:

  • Taxes are due annually or semi-annually, depending on locality
  • If they go unpaid, penalties and interest begin to add up
  • After a certain period (often 2+ years), the locality can initiate tax delinquency proceedings
  • Eventually, the property may be sold at a tax sale

You could lose your home—even if you have no mortgage.

🏚 Selling Before Foreclosure Is an Option

If you’re behind on taxes but still own the home, you can sell it before it goes to auction. This lets you:

  • Pay off the tax debt
  • Avoid a foreclosure on your record
  • Walk away with whatever equity is left
  • Stop the stress of growing penalties and notices

At The Cash Offer Company, we’ll pay off your back taxes as part of the deal—and we’ll still buy the house as-is.


🛠 No Repairs, No Agents, No Waiting

Many tax-delinquent homes need work. If you can’t afford to fix it, that’s OK. We buy properties in any condition, including:

  • Vacant or abandoned homes
  • Inherited houses with unpaid taxes
  • Rental properties with tenant damage
  • Hoarder homes
  • Outdated properties
  • Homes with liens, judgments, or title issues

We handle it all—including back taxes, closing costs, and cleanup.
