Key points
What this looks like in practice.
Know what is owed
Unpaid taxes, interest, and any penalties or purchased lien certificates attached to the property.
Payoff at closing
Tax liens are typically satisfied from the sale proceeds, in the statutory order, not from your pocket.
Track down the holders
Some liens are held by investors who bought the certificate. They must be located and paid.
Protect the timeline
Resolving the lien early prevents surprises in the title work and at the closing table.
