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 Levittown property transfers free and clear.

Nassau County Market Context
Nassau County is inner Long Island: Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay. Levittown ranches, Long Beach co-ops, and Great Neck/Manhasset estates all part of Tony's Nassau pipeline.
Nassau County tax rates are 2.0-2.8%; assessment grievance is common given the elevated rates.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Levittown
In Nassau 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.
Sections of Levittown Tony Buys In
Levittown is the original postwar suburb: roughly 17,000 Levitt houses built 1947–51 — the 1947–48 Cape Cod and the 1949–51 ranch — on 60-by-100 lots, almost every one of them dormered, extended, or rebuilt over seventy years. The original houses had no basements and radiant heat in copper pipes cast into the slab, which have long since failed in most of them. Second-story additions, garages, and rear extensions built without Town of Hempstead permits are the norm rather than the exception.

Selling a House in Levittown: What Tony Already Knows
Levittown sellers call Tony with the house their parents bought as newlyweds in 1950 and never left: an original Levitt cape with two unpermitted dormers, a slab-heat system that died decades ago, a kitchen from 1971, and every closet still full. The estate is in Mineola, the heirs are in three states, and a bank buyer's inspector would fill ten pages. Others are seniors on a fixed income who can't carry Nassau's taxes on a paid-off house. Tony buys the cape with the unpermitted additions and the failed slab heat, full of belongings, and gives one number on the phone that closes when the family is ready.

What a Levittown closing actually involves
Levittown sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony nets it into his offer. The defining Levittown closing issue is the certificate of occupancy — most houses have additions the Town of Hempstead (or Town of Oyster Bay, on the Island Trees side) never issued a C of O for, and a bank will make you legalize or remove them first. Tony buys "as-is C of O" for cash. Deeds record with the Nassau County Clerk in Mineola, where Nassau Surrogate's Court handles Levittown estates.
How a Cash Offer on a Levittown 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 Levittown 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 Levittown 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 Levittown 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.
My Levittown cape has two dormers and an extension with no C of O. Will Tony still buy it?
Yes. That describes most of Levittown. Tony buys houses with unpermitted dormers, extensions, garages, and finished attics as they stand and handles the Town of Hempstead Building Department after closing. You don't need to hire an expediter, open permits, or tear anything down. It's built into his number, not held against your sale.
The radiant slab heat in my Levittown house failed years ago and it runs on baseboard now. Is that a problem for Tony?
No. Failed copper-in-slab radiant heat is close to universal in original Levitt houses, and Tony expects to see baseboard, a converted system, or a house that's been cold for a while. Whatever the heating situation, he buys as-is and prices the mechanicals honestly.
Does Tony buy in all of Levittown, including the Island Trees side?
Yes — all of ZIP 11756, on both the Town of Hempstead and Town of Oyster Bay sides. Original capes, ranches, houses rebuilt into full colonials, and the occasional split or newer build. One call with the address gets you a number.
We're three siblings who inherited our parents' Levittown house and none of us live nearby. How does Tony handle that?
Once Nassau Surrogate's Court in Mineola issues letters, Tony signs a contract with the executor or administrator, and each sibling signs consents and closing documents with a notary wherever they live. Shares are wired at closing. Tony buys the house with everything still in it, so nobody has to drive to Levittown to clean it out.
