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 Cayuta property transfers free and clear.
Owe back property taxes in Schuyler 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 Cayuta-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.
Behind on Cayuta, New York property taxes? Tony's offer pays them off at closing. The Schuyler County tax collector gets paid, you walk away with whatever's left, and the tax-foreclosure clock stops the same day. Standard close: 7 to 14 days.

The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Cayuta.
Schuyler County is Watkins Glen — Seneca Lake's south end, the Watkins Glen International racetrack, and the state-park gorge — plus Montour Falls, Odessa, and Burdett, with vineyards on both lake shores. Lakefront cottages, vineyard properties, and 1880s village homes make up the stock; race weekends and wine-trail tourism drive short-term rental demand.
Schuyler effective rates run roughly 2.5-3.1% of full value; Seneca lakefront carries the highest absolute bills in this small county.

In Schuyler 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.
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.

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 Cayuta property transfers free and clear.
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
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.
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.
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
