Will homeinvestor.co pay off the back taxes on my Crozet house?

Yes — all unpaid property taxes are paid in full at closing by the title company from the sale proceeds before the seller gets the remainder. You don't pay anything out of pocket.

What if I owe more in back taxes than the house is worth?

Then there's no equity for you, but we can still sometimes negotiate with the taxing authority for a discounted payoff. It's case-by-case — submit your address and we'll tell you what's possible.

How long until the county can foreclose on a tax lien in Virginia?

Varies by state, but generally 1–4 years of delinquency before the taxing authority can hold a tax-lien or tax-deed sale. Don't wait — the longer you wait the higher the penalties and interest stack up.

Can I sell if there's already a tax-lien sale scheduled?

Often yes, if there's still a "right of redemption" window. We've closed Crozet deals days before the scheduled tax sale. Faster the better.

How fast can we close?

12–14 days for a clean tax-delinquent house. Title company pulls a tax certificate, calculates the payoff, and wires the taxing authority at closing.

Crozet market reality

Northern Virginia (DC suburbs), Richmond, and Hampton Roads have very active cash markets. Southwest Virginia trades more slowly — the network helps there.

Est. median home: $308,000
Typical DOM: 71 days

For Crozet tax-delinquent sellers specifically: a typical MLS sale at 71 days on market plus VA's normal 30–45 day escrow stretches the resolution to 106+ days — usually longer than the runway you have. A direct cash close in 12–21 days is what makes this path work.
