Sell House With Back Taxes in Arlington, TX — What You Need to Know
We're not a hedge fund and we're not a national algorithm. We're a local DFW family-owned company that buys homes in Arlington because this is the market we know and the community we live in. That changes how we treat every seller.
Tax liens stop most Arlington buyers cold. They don't stop us. We work through lien situations at title and factor outstanding amounts into the closing math.
When you work with a local buyer in Arlington, you're working with someone who has a stake in this community. We don't come in, buy a property at a steep discount, and disappear. We improve the homes we buy and put them back into the market as renovated properties that benefit the neighborhood.

Selling a Arlington Home With Delinquent Property Taxes — What You Need to Know
Property tax debt in Texas compounds quickly. Delinquent taxes accrue a 6% penalty in the first month after the January 31 deadline, plus 1% per month thereafter, plus 12% annual interest — and once the account goes to a collection attorney, typically after July 1, an additional 20% collection fee attaches. A property tax bill that started as a manageable amount can grow substantially within a year or two of nonpayment.
Texas property tax liens have priority over most other liens, including first mortgages. This means that if property taxes go unpaid long enough, the taxing authority can foreclose on your Arlington property even if the mortgage is current. Property tax foreclosures move faster than most homeowners expect.
How a Cash Sale Resolves Property Tax Debt
When we buy a Arlington property with delinquent property taxes, the entire tax debt — including all penalties, interest, and collection fees — is paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. The title company confirms the exact payoff amount with the taxing authority and issues payment directly. You receive whatever remains after the tax payoff, mortgage payoff, and closing costs.
Don't wait until a tax foreclosure is filed to act. Texas property tax foreclosures can move quickly once the taxing authority initiates the process, and earlier action always preserves more options. A cash sale is one of the most direct ways to stop a property tax foreclosure, pay off the arrears, and protect whatever equity you still have.
