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 Gravesend property transfers free and clear.

Owe back property taxes in Kings 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.

Tony has bought hundreds of Gravesend-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.

Kings County Market Context
Kings County (Brooklyn) is brownstones, multi-families, and pre-war apartment stock. Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Bushwick, East New York all have heavy inherited-property volume.
NYC property taxes use Class 1 (1-3 family) assessment that lags market value significantly. Effective rates vary by class but typically 0.8-1.5%.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Gravesend
In Kings 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.

Questions From Gravesend 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 Gravesend 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 Gravesend 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.
