Back property taxes in Conway? Arkansas can sell your home for unpaid taxes after 24 months of delinquency. We buy houses with tax liens — pay the taxes at closing, give you the difference in cash, save your credit.
Falling behind on property taxes in Conway, Arkansas can spiral fast. Arkansas counties begin tax sale proceedings after a fixed period of property tax delinquency. BuyHousesInCash buys homes with tax liens, tax delinquency, and even properties scheduled for tax sale. We pay the back taxes from sale proceeds at closing, so you never write a check. You walk away free of the tax burden with cash in hand.
Tax liens in Arkansas are mostly senior to mortgage liens, which means a tax sale can extinguish the mortgage entirely. Conway homeowners who fall behind on property taxes while current on their mortgage occasionally discover their lender paid the taxes and added them to the loan balance — at a punitive rate. Either path destroys equity; selling clears both at closing.
Most Faulkner County tax sales use a certificate-auction process where investors bid on the right to collect the delinquency plus interest. The homeowner retains a redemption window (often 1-3 years in Arkansas) during which they can pay off the certificate plus accumulated interest and reclaim clean title. BuyHousesInCash regularly closes during this redemption window, paying the certificate as part of the closing.
Arkansas property tax bills compound their consequences. The original tax becomes delinquent, then penalty interest, then collection fees, then attorney costs once the county initiates legal proceedings. A Conway homeowner who fell $4,000 behind two years ago typically owes $7,000-$9,000 by the time the tax sale is calendared. Cash sale proceeds pay it all at closing.
Multiple-year tax delinquency in Faulkner County compounds: each year's delinquency carries separate interest and penalty schedules. Arkansas Conway homeowners with 3+ years delinquent face larger payoff amounts than recent delinquencies. BuyHousesInCash addresses multi-year situations as standard practice.
Property tax volume in Conway (65,782 population, AR) creates ongoing back-tax situations that BuyHousesInCash regularly resolves at closing. Faulkner County tax collector coordination is routine for our title work.

Call (555) 555-CASHArkansas can typically begin tax sale proceedings after 24 months of delinquency. The county or municipality issues a tax certificate to investors, and after a redemption period, the property can be sold at auction.

No. BuyHousesInCash pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company in Arkansas disburses funds to the county tax collector, clears the lien, and the remaining cash goes to you. You write zero checks. This is one of the biggest reasons homeowners with Conway tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Arkansas provides a redemption period during which you can pay off the certificate plus interest and reclaim your property. BuyHousesInCash can buy your home and redeem the certificate at closing during this window. Don't wait until the redemption period expires — call us as soon as possible.
Yes. Federal IRS tax liens against you personally do attach to Conway real estate. The IRS has procedures (Form 14135) to discharge a property from the lien at closing in exchange for paying the lien amount or a portion. BuyHousesInCash works with title companies experienced in IRS lien discharges. Arkansas state tax liens follow similar processes.
The math has to work — sale proceeds need to cover the back taxes plus our offer price. If you have $50,000 in back taxes on a $200,000 Conway home, we have plenty of room. If back taxes are $180,000 on a $200,000 home, the offer becomes minimal. We'll run the numbers transparently and tell you what you'd net before any commitment.
Common scenario. Both get paid off at closing from sale proceeds. The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Arkansas tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Conway regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Arkansas counties will postpone or cancel a scheduled tax sale once they receive proof of a pending sale to a buyer who will pay off the delinquent taxes. BuyHousesInCash' title company submits the contract and proof of funds directly to the Conway tax office to halt the sale. We've stopped tax auctions with as little as 5 days notice.
Selling to BuyHousesInCash doesn't directly impact credit. The negative items — late mortgage payments, judgments, the tax lien itself — already affect your credit. Selling clears those liens, which over time helps your credit recover. Compare to a tax sale: losing the home plus continued lien on credit report. The voluntary sale is almost always the better credit outcome.
A Conway, AR home with back taxes typically closes to a cash buyer in 7-14 days. Faulkner County tax collector payoff letters take 3-7 business days. Pre-tax-sale homeowners with auction dates within 30 days should act immediately.
Cash buyers in Conway, AR typically pay 70-85% of after-repair value, then deduct the tax owed to Faulkner County from the seller's net. The seller still walks away with positive proceeds in most cases.

Possibly. Arkansas provides a statutory redemption period after most tax sales. Within that period, the original owner can redeem and sell. Outside the period, the tax-deed holder controls the property.
Sometimes. We resolve them at closing. BuyHousesInCash title in Faulkner County identifies lien buyers and pays them their statutory return, freeing the property to transfer.
Senior property tax exemptions in Arkansas can reduce or freeze the tax basis for qualifying homeowners over 65 in Faulkner County, but enrollment must happen before the delinquency, not after. Conway seniors who missed enrollment cannot retroactively apply it to wipe out arrears. Selling can be the better outcome when retroactive relief isn't available.
Mortgage servicers in Arkansas sometimes pay delinquent property taxes themselves and force-place the amount into the loan balance, raising the monthly payment overnight to recover the advance plus interest. Conway borrowers occasionally find their $1,400/month mortgage jumps to $1,950 after a tax-escrow shortage. The lender treats it as a default risk; the next step is acceleration.
Arkansas tax sale calendars are predictable: counties give homeowners 24 months of delinquency before initiating sale procedures, though the exact trigger varies by jurisdiction. Conway property owners in Faulkner County receive a series of escalating notices, but most don't realize the certificate gets sold to investors well before any actual loss of title. By then, redemption costs include the investor's interest premium, which compounds monthly.
Arkansas payment plans for delinquent property taxes exist in some Faulkner County jurisdictions. Conway homeowners can stop tax-sale acceleration by entering plans; default reactivates the timeline. Plans require monthly capability; not all homeowners qualify.
