How are back property taxes paid when I sell to Tony?

Behind on Property Taxes in Jersey City, NJ? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in Hudson County? Tony's title company pays them off at closing — out of the cash proceeds. You don't bring a check. The New Jersey tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Jersey City
Many Jersey City sellers behind on taxes don't realize they likely have equity above the back-tax balance. A house worth $300K with $25K in back taxes still has $275K of equity (minus any mortgage). Tony's offer captures that for you. Letting it go to tax-lien sale typically zeroes that out.

“Tony bought my late mother's house in seven days. We didn't have to clean a thing — she'd been there 40 years and the house showed it. He took it just like she left it. Cash in our hand at the title office.”
— L.J., Newark, NJ
Inherited house

Questions From Jersey City Sellers
What if I owe water/sewer arrears too?
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
Can Tony close before the Jersey City tax-lien sale?
In most cases, yes. As long as the lien sale isn't in the next 5-7 days, Tony's standard close fits inside the window.
Will I get any cash if the Jersey City house has back taxes and a mortgage?
Depends on equity. Tony's offer pays mortgage, then back taxes, then liens. Anything left is yours. On most NJ/NY properties with even 10% equity, sellers walk away with thousands.
What if the county already started tax-lien proceedings?
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
