Sell Your House with Tax Liens Fast

Property tax delinquency is more common than most people realize in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. If you've fallen behind on taxes, you're not alone — and you're not out of options.

In Ohio, property tax delinquency eventually leads to a county treasurer's tax lien sale and ultimately a sheriff sale. But until the property is actually sold at sheriff sale, you can still sell it on the open market — and use the proceeds to pay off the tax debt.

JVC Equity buys tax-delinquent properties throughout Cuyahoga and Summit Counties. We work with title companies who specialize in resolving tax liens at closing. You don't pay anything out of pocket — the taxes are cleared from the sale proceeds.

How Selling a Tax Lien Property Works

• You accept our cash offer — we agree on a purchase price
• Title company conducts a search and identifies all tax liens and amounts owed
• At closing, tax liens are paid from the sale proceeds before you receive your share
• You receive the remaining equity (sale price minus mortgage payoff minus tax liens minus our negotiated price)
• No out-of-pocket costs — everything is resolved from the sale proceeds

Cuyahoga County taxes become delinquent after August 5 (first half) and February 5 (second half) each year. Delinquent taxes accrue 18% annual interest per Ohio law. The sooner you act, the more of your equity you preserve.
