How are back property taxes paid when I sell to Tony?
The title company pays them at closing out of the sale proceeds. You don't bring a check. The county gets paid, the lien is released, and the The Bronx property transfers free and clear.
Behind on Property Taxes in The Bronx, NY? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in Bronx County? Tony's title company pays them off at closing — out of the cash proceeds. You don't bring a check. The New York tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes.
Falling behind on property taxes happens to good people during hard years. Medical bills. Job loss. A spouse passing. Then the letters from the county pile up and the next tax bill comes before the last one is paid. You're not stuck. Tony has bought hundreds of The Bronx-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.
If you're getting tax-delinquency notices on your The Bronx, Bronx County house, the safest move is to sell before the lien sale. Tony pays off back taxes, water/sewer arrears, and any municipal liens at closing — out of the proceeds. You don't have to come up with cash to clear them.
- Title company pays back taxes at closing — you bring nothing
- Water, sewer, and municipal liens paid at the same time
- Tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes
- Most sellers walk away with cash above the payoff
- 7-day close, faster if the tax-lien sale is approaching
- Same process for NJ tax delinquency and NY tax-lien proceedings

Bronx County Market Context
Bronx County is a mix of detached homes (Riverdale, Throggs Neck, Country Club) and dense multi-family (Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Soundview). Tony buys both.
Bronx NYC Class 1 and Class 2 rates apply; multi-family above 3 units triggers Class 2 with higher effective rates.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in The Bronx
In Bronx County, tax-foreclosure timelines vary, but in NY counties like Erie, Onondaga, and Monroe the process can move from delinquency to county-auction in 18-24 months. Once the county auctions the property, you typically walk away with nothing. Tony's offer captures whatever equity remains before that auction.
Bronx Neighborhoods Tony Buys In
The Bronx has detached houses in north and east neighborhoods, plus multi-families everywhere. Tony buys row houses, two-families, and three-families anywhere from Riverdale down to Mott Haven. The south and west Bronx are five- and six-story pre-war walk-ups and Art Deco elevator buildings along the Grand Concourse, almost all rent-stabilized; the northeast — Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Morris Park, Throggs Neck, Pelham Bay — is detached and semi-detached 1920s–50s frame and brick two- and three-families; Riverdale is Tudors and co-ops; Co-op City is a 15,000-unit Mitchell-Lama.

Selling a House in The Bronx: What Tony Already Knows
Bronx sellers who call Tony fall into two groups. Homeowners in the northeast Bronx — often Caribbean, Italian, and Albanian families — are settling a parent's estate on a two-family with a basement apartment the City never saw and a tenant who stopped paying. Small landlords in the south and west Bronx are done fighting a rent-stabilized walk-up with HPD violations, a boiler on its last legs, and rents frozen since the 2019 rent law. Both have found that a listing means inspections, bank appraisals, and buyers who vanish. Tony buys occupied, as-is, violations included, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.

What a The Bronx closing actually involves
Bronx sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony nets both. Multi-family buildings with six or more units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized, and tenants transfer with their leases and DHCR registrations intact. Bronx County Surrogate's Court on the Grand Concourse issues the letters an executor needs; Tony signs a contract as soon as they issue. Co-op City and other Mitchell-Lama buildings have resale restrictions Tony will explain honestly on the phone.
How a Cash Offer on a The Bronx House Is Actually Built
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Questions From The Bronx 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 The Bronx 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 The Bronx 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.
Does Tony buy in every Bronx neighborhood?
Yes — from Riverdale and Wakefield down to Mott Haven and Hunts Point. Detached two-families in Williamsbridge and Throggs Neck, brick rows in Morris Park, walk-ups in Tremont and Morrisania, frames in Soundview, and co-ops and condos anywhere. One call with the address gets you a number.
Will Tony buy my rent-stabilized walk-up in the Bronx with tenants and HPD violations?
Yes. Tony buys occupied rent-stabilized buildings on their real rent roll, with every tenant staying and every HPD, DOB, and ECB violation transferring to him at closing. You don't need vacancies, buyouts, or repairs. He'll want the DHCR registration and current rents so his number reflects the building as it actually operates.
My Bronx two-family has an illegal basement apartment with a tenant. Is that a problem?
No. Basement and attic apartments without a certificate of occupancy are everywhere in Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Soundview, and Throggs Neck, and Tony buys them with the tenant in place. A DOB vacate order, if there is one, transfers with the house. Don't rip out the kitchen before you call.
Can Tony buy my Co-op City apartment?
Usually not as the buyer himself. Co-op City is a Mitchell-Lama cooperative with income limits and a resale process that goes through Riverbay, which keeps investors out. Tony will tell you that straight on the phone. For houses, condos, and market-rate co-ops anywhere else in the Bronx, he's the buyer.
