What is a Tax Lien?
A tax lien is a legal claim placed against your property by the city, county, or state government when property taxes go unpaid. In Austin, Travis County has the authority to place a lien on your home if you fall behind on your tax payments. Once the lien is recorded, the county has the right to collect the debt when the property is sold or refinanced. This means the lien stays attached to the property’s title until it’s paid off.
Unlike other types of debt, tax liens don’t simply disappear over time. They remain with the property and can make selling your home through traditional real estate channels difficult or even impossible. Mortgage lenders, title companies, and buyers usually require that liens be resolved before a sale can close. This leaves many homeowners feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward while the lien remains in place.
That’s where Austin All Cash Home Buyers can help. We have experience working with homeowners who are facing tax liens and can help you navigate the sale process even with the lien still attached. Our team works closely with title companies and local authorities to make sure the lien is handled as part of the closing. This gives you a realistic path forward without adding more financial strain.

Things to Know About Selling a Home with a Tax Lien
A Tax Lien Doesn’t Stop You from Selling
You can still sell your home even if there’s a tax lien. The lien stays with the property, but it doesn’t prevent a sale as long as it’s handled properly during closing.Liens Must Be Paid Off at Closing
The tax lien is typically paid directly out of the sale proceeds during the closing process. You don’t have to come up with the money upfront—we handle that as part of the sale.Traditional Sales Can Fall Through
Many traditional buyers won’t move forward with a home purchase until the lien is cleared. This can cause delays, financing issues, or canceled deals when selling the traditional way.Waiting Only Makes the Problem Worse
Tax liens continue to grow with penalties, fees, and interest over time. The longer you wait, the more the total amount owed increases, and the greater the risk of foreclosure.We Work with the Tax Office and Title Company for You
Our team handles the paperwork, communicates with the tax office, and works with the title company to ensure the lien is cleared as part of the sale. You won’t have to manage this process alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are ready to help you with the cash offer for your home. You can fill out the form below or contact us by calling or texting (512) 580-7557. We’ll get in touch with you to quickly learn about your property and selling goals. Our process will be simple, honest, and fast – we buy houses with no repairs, realtor fees or commissions, uncertainty, or hassles.
We purchase a wide range of residential properties in Austin. This includes single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and multi-family units. The condition of the property doesn’t matter – whether it’s well-maintained, outdated, or in need of serious repairs. We’re interested in hearing about your situation and can usually make an offer regardless of the type or condition of the home.
No, there are no fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. Unlike a traditional sale where a realtor might charge you a commission of 5 to 6 percent, we buy directly from you. That means you don’t pay any agent fees, and we also cover your standard closing costs. The offer you receive is the amount you walk away with at closing.
We cover all of the standard closing costs for you, so you won’t need to come out of pocket for anything. Typically, closing costs can add up to 1% – 2% of the sale price in a traditional transaction. With us, that part is already included in your offer. It’s just one more way we simplify the process and save you money.
We look at a few key factors to make sure our offer is both fair and competitive. First, we consider the location of the home and recent sales of similar properties in your area. Then, we assess the current condition of the house, any needed repairs or updates, and what it might take to resell it in today’s market. With all of that in mind, we make you our best possible cash offer, and we’re always happy to walk you through how we got to that number if you have questions.
Our process is designed to be simple. First, you reach out to us with a few details about your property. After we review that information, we’ll typically follow up with a few questions and then send you a cash offer – usually within 24 hours. If you like the offer, you choose the closing date that works best for you. We handle all of the paperwork and pay the closing costs. There’s no need for repairs, showings, or inspections.
We can close in as little as 7 days, depending on your schedule and how quickly you’d like to move forward. Because we’re buying with our own cash, there’s no waiting on bank approvals or inspections. If you need more time, we’re flexible – you set the closing date, and we’ll work around it.
No, there’s absolutely no obligation. When you contact us, we’ll review your property details and make you a fair, no-pressure cash offer. You’re free to take your time, think it over, or even decide not to move forward. We won’t hassle you or push you to make a decision. It’s completely up to you whether to accept or not.
Yes, we can. We know that moving can be stressful, and sometimes things don’t line up perfectly. That’s why we offer up to 30 days after closing where you can stay in the property, and you won’t need to pay rent during that time. It gives you breathing room and flexibility as you transition to your next place.
Yes, we can offer up to 30 days rent free inside the property after closing.
We buy houses exactly as they are, no matter what condition they’re in. Whether your house just needs some basic updates or has more serious repair issues, you won’t need to take care of any of it before selling, we’ll handle everything after the purchase. No repairs, no cleanup, no renovations.
No, you don’t need to catch up on missed payments to sell your house. We’ve worked with many homeowners who were behind on their mortgage or facing foreclosure. As long as the home hasn’t gone to auction yet, we may still be able to buy it and stop the foreclosure process.
