Why It Matters?

In Suffolk and Nassau Counties, tax liens can trigger foreclosure separately from your mortgage. It’s a parallel threat.

Timeline

• 1 year late = lien is issued
• 2–3 years late = foreclosure by county
• Your home can be auctioned for taxes even if your mortgage is current.

What You Can Do

• Call the county tax assessor
• Ask about payment plans
• Request a payoff amount
• Sell the home fast and pay the taxes at closing

We help homeowners with tax liens by covering those bills as part of our purchase. You walk away free and clear.
