Back property taxes in Palm Bay? Florida 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 Palm Bay, Florida can spiral fast. Florida 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 bill explosions after Brevard County reassessment cycles affect Palm Bay homeowners in growing-value neighborhoods. Florida 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 delinquency in Palm Bay often correlates with other distress signals — job loss, medical bills, divorce — and Florida doesn't have a hardship program that reliably saves the home once 24 months pass. Brevard County's deferral programs cover seniors and disabled veterans but rarely the working-age homeowner facing a temporary cash crunch.
Bankruptcy can pause a Florida tax sale via the automatic stay, but only briefly. Property taxes are typically priority unsecured debt in Chapter 13 and survive Chapter 7 discharge entirely. Palm Bay homeowners hoping bankruptcy will solve tax arrears usually discover it postpones rather than eliminates the problem.
Florida 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 Palm Bay 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.

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 Florida 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 Palm Bay tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Florida 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 Palm Bay 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. Florida 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 Palm Bay 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 Florida tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Palm Bay regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Florida 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 Palm Bay 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.
