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 Edwards property transfers free and clear.
Behind on Property Taxes in Edwards, NY? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in St. Lawrence 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 Edwards-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 Edwards, St. Lawrence 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

St. Lawrence County Market Context
St. Lawrence County is the largest county in New York by area: Canton (St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton), Potsdam (SUNY Potsdam, Clarkson), Ogdensburg's 1880s river-city stock, Massena's Alcoa-era homes near the Seaway locks, and Gouverneur farmhouses. The four colleges, the prisons at Ogdensburg and Gouverneur, and Alcoa Massena are the economy; house prices are among the lowest in the state.
St. Lawrence effective rates run roughly 2.6-3.3% of full value on very low assessed values; the college villages of Canton and Potsdam carry the highest absolute bills.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Edwards
Here's how Tony resolves St. Lawrence County back-tax situations. The title company pulls the tax-payoff statement from the St. Lawrence County county. At closing, Tony's wire goes to the title company, and the title company sends the back-taxes amount directly to the county/town. Anything above the back taxes (and any mortgage payoff if there is one) goes to you.
How a Cash Offer on a Edwards 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 Edwards 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 Edwards 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 Edwards 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.
