Back property taxes in Eastpointe? Michigan 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 Eastpointe, Michigan can spiral fast. Michigan 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.
BuyHousesInCash handles tax-delinquent Eastpointe 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 Michigan are governed by statute MCL and vary in length from a few months to several years. Macomb 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.
Michigan payment plans for delinquent property taxes exist in some Macomb County jurisdictions. Eastpointe homeowners can stop tax-sale acceleration by entering plans; default reactivates the timeline. Plans require monthly capability; not all homeowners qualify.
Inheritance of tax-delinquent properties in Michigan adds layers of timing. The heir must establish authority before resolving taxes; the Macomb County clock continues running. BuyHousesInCash closes during probate with court authorization, addressing both issues simultaneously in Eastpointe.
Tax delinquency volume in Macomb County, MI reflects the broader Michigan economic environment. A Eastpointe metro of 33,994 produces a steady flow of 36-month tax-delinquency-eligible properties. Tax sales clear inventory; BuyHousesInCash acquisitions divert properties before that step.

Call (555) 555-CASHMichigan 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.

No. BuyHousesInCash pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company in Michigan 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 Eastpointe tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Michigan 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 Eastpointe 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. Michigan 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 Eastpointe 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 Michigan tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Eastpointe regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Michigan 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 Eastpointe 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.
Step 1: get a cash offer. Step 2: title company orders the Macomb County tax payoff. Step 3: sign purchase agreement. Step 4: close at title office. Step 5: proceeds pay back taxes, mortgage (if any), and the seller's net — all from one settlement statement.
