Call (555) 555-CASHMaryland can typically begin tax sale proceedings after 18 months of delinquency. The county or municipality issues a tax certificate to investors, and after a redemption period, the property can be sold at auction. Cash4HousesNow can typically close before tax sale in Annapolis as long as you contact us before the auction date is finalized.
No. Cash4HousesNow pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company in Maryland disburses funds to the county tax collector, clears the lien, and the remaining cash goes to you. You write zero checks. This is one of the biggest reasons homeowners with Annapolis tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Maryland provides a redemption period during which you can pay off the certificate plus interest and reclaim your property. Cash4HousesNow can buy your home and redeem the certificate at closing during this window. Don't wait until the redemption period expires — call us as soon as possible.
Yes. Federal IRS tax liens against you personally do attach to Annapolis real estate. The IRS has procedures (Form 14135) to discharge a property from the lien at closing in exchange for paying the lien amount or a portion. Cash4HousesNow works with title companies experienced in IRS lien discharges. Maryland state tax liens follow similar processes.
The math has to work — sale proceeds need to cover the back taxes plus our offer price. If you have $50,000 in back taxes on a $200,000 Annapolis home, we have plenty of room. If back taxes are $180,000 on a $200,000 home, the offer becomes minimal. We'll run the numbers transparently and tell you what you'd net before any commitment.
Common scenario. Both get paid off at closing from sale proceeds. The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Maryland tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Annapolis regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Maryland counties will postpone or cancel a scheduled tax sale once they receive proof of a pending sale to a buyer who will pay off the delinquent taxes. Cash4HousesNow' title company submits the contract and proof of funds directly to the Annapolis tax office to halt the sale. We've stopped tax auctions with as little as 5 days notice.
Selling to Cash4HousesNow doesn't directly impact credit. The negative items — late mortgage payments, judgments, the tax lien itself — already affect your credit. Selling clears those liens, which over time helps your credit recover. Compare to a tax sale: losing the home plus continued lien on credit report. The voluntary sale is almost always the better credit outcome.
