Common Questions

Sell a Tax-Delinquent Property in Arlington County โ€” FAQ

Can you buy my Arlington County home if I owe back property taxes?

Yes. We regularly buy tax-delinquent properties in Arlington County and can pay off the outstanding taxes at closing, clearing the debt as part of the sale.

What happens if I ignore delinquent taxes in Arlington County?

The balance keeps growing with interest and penalties, and the county can eventually sell the tax lien or the property. Acting before a tax sale protects any equity you have.

Will I still get money if I sell with a tax lien?

Often yes. Homes in Arlington County average about $780,000; after the back taxes are paid from the proceeds, any remaining equity goes to you.

Do I need to pay the taxes before selling to you?

No. The taxes are typically settled directly from the sale proceeds at closing, so you don't need to come up with the money first.

How fast can you close on a tax-delinquent home in Arlington County?

As little as 7 days. The faster we move, the less interest and penalty accrues, so reach out as soon as possible.
