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 Douglaston property transfers free and clear.
Behind on Property Taxes in Douglaston, NY? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in Queens 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.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Douglaston
In Queens 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 Douglaston 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 Douglaston 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 Douglaston 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.
