Back property taxes in Aurora? Colorado can sell your home for unpaid taxes after 36 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 Aurora, Colorado can spiral fast. Colorado 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 delinquency in Aurora often correlates with other distress signals — job loss, medical bills, divorce — and Colorado doesn't have a hardship program that reliably saves the home once 36 months pass. Arapahoe County's deferral programs cover seniors and disabled veterans but rarely the working-age homeowner facing a temporary cash crunch.
Most Arapahoe 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 Colorado) 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.
Tax bill explosions after Arapahoe County reassessment cycles affect Aurora homeowners in growing-value neighborhoods. Colorado doesn't cap year-over-year tax increases the way some states do; bills can jump 20-40% in one cycle. Homeowners on fixed income face sudden affordability challenges.
Tax-deed states (some Colorado jurisdictions) versus tax-lien states differ in what's auctioned: in tax-lien states, investors buy the lien and accrue interest; in tax-deed states, ownership transfers. Arapahoe County procedure determines redemption rights. BuyHousesInCash resolves both lien and deed situations.
Colorado tax sales in Arapahoe County run on an annual or biannual cycle. Aurora properties enter the eligibility pool after the statutory delinquency period. BuyHousesInCash buys before the sale to preserve owner equity beyond what the tax-deed holder would.
No obligation. We close at a Arapahoe County title company.
Call (555) 555-CASHColorado can typically begin tax sale proceedings after 36 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. BuyHousesInCash can typically close before tax sale in Aurora as long as you contact us before the auction date is finalized.
No. BuyHousesInCash pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company in Colorado 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 Aurora tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Colorado 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 Aurora 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. Colorado 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 Aurora 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 Colorado tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Aurora regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Colorado 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 Aurora 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.
Often yes. Colorado provides redemption windows after most tax sales. Cash buyers can close within these windows in Arapahoe County, redeeming the tax lien and transferring clear title.
No. Colorado cash buyers cover standard closing costs including title work, recording fees, and tax-payoff processing. The Arapahoe County back taxes are paid from sale proceeds, not on top of the offer.
Most established Colorado cash buyers handle back-tax properties as standard business. Verify with BBB rating, proof of funds, physical Arapahoe County business address, and online reviews. Avoid anyone who asks for upfront payment to 'help' with taxes.
Colorado requires 36 months of property tax delinquency before tax-sale eligibility in most jurisdictions. Arapahoe County specifics may vary. Check with the tax collector to confirm your exact timeline.
Possibly. Colorado 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.
BuyHousesInCash handles tax-delinquent Aurora properties without requiring the seller to bring money to closing. The math just needs sale proceeds to exceed the tax debt, mortgage payoff, and our offer. When equity is too thin to cover all three, we work with lenders on short sale and with the county on tax-arrear negotiations.
Tax-sale redemptions in Colorado are governed by statute C.R.S. and vary in length from a few months to several years. Arapahoe County's specific redemption period is published on the assessor's website. BuyHousesInCash closes during any redemption window, paying the redemption amount as part of the closing settlement statement.
Colorado 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 Aurora 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.
Tax sale notification in Colorado typically requires Arapahoe County to mail certified notice to the property owner before the auction. Aurora homeowners who've moved frequently miss these notices, then discover the situation only after the sale. Notification compliance challenges can occasionally overturn sales but consume significant time. Pre-sale resolution is faster.
