💰 Can I Sell My House in Virginia With Back Taxes Owed?
Falling behind on property taxes can feel like a slow spiral. Maybe you missed a year, or two, and now the city or county is threatening to place a lien or sell your home at auction.
Here’s the short answer:
Yes, you can still sell your house in Virginia if you owe back taxes.
In fact, The Cash Offer Company helps homeowners do exactly that before the situation gets worse.
📑 What Happens When You Owe Property Taxes?
In Virginia, unpaid property taxes become a lien on the home. This means:
- You can’t sell the house with a clear title
- Your local treasurer may initiate a tax sale
- Additional penalties, interest, or legal fees will stack up
Eventually, the county can force the home into foreclosure to recover what’s owed.
💡 Can You Sell Before It Goes to Auction?
Yes, but time matters. Once your house is scheduled for a tax sale, it becomes harder to stop the process.
You can still:
- Sell the house and use the proceeds to pay off the lien
- Request a payoff statement from the treasurer’s office
- Work with a cash buyer who can close fast and handle the lien at closing
The key is speed. Traditional buyers and agents often can’t move fast enough to save the deal.
