Back property taxes in Pembroke Pines? 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 Pembroke Pines, 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.
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. Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines 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.
Investor purchasers at Broward County tax sales typically pay only the back taxes plus fees, leaving any residual property value as profit when the redemption period expires. Pembroke Pines homeowners who let this happen lose their entire equity. Selling to BuyHousesInCash before the sale captures that equity for the seller, even if only at 60-75% of after-repair value.
Mortgage company tax-payment failures occasionally cause property-tax delinquency on properties whose owners assume taxes are paid via escrow. Florida servicer errors create Broward County delinquencies; the homeowner is technically responsible for verification. Pembroke Pines homeowners discovering escrow failures can usually resolve, but the process takes time.
Florida tax sales in Broward County run on an annual or biannual cycle. Pembroke Pines 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 Broward County title company.
Call (555) 555-CASHFlorida 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. BuyHousesInCash can typically close before tax sale in Pembroke Pines 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 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 Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines 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.
Generally no, beyond standard capital gains rules. Florida treats the tax-payoff at closing as part of the sale settlement. Broward County tax professionals can confirm specifics for your situation.

Tax bill explosions after Broward County reassessment cycles affect Pembroke Pines 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.
IRS tax liens — separate from property tax — also affect Pembroke Pines home sales. Federal liens attach to all real estate owned by the debtor. When the property sells, the IRS gets paid from proceeds before the homeowner sees anything, but Form 14135 (Certificate of Discharge) can clear the lien from the specific property at closing. BuyHousesInCash title teams handle this routinely in Broward County.
