When selling a home with a lien in Kansas City MO, the homeowner who owes property taxes will need to work with the locality to satisfy the judgment before the home can be sold. This can be done in several ways.

The first is to sell the house and arrange to pay the property tax lien during the escrow process as part of the closing.

The second way may require the seller to obtain a surety bond during escrow to ensure the state receives their payment from the house sale proceeds. Bonds are typically required when the homeowner has a large property tax debt.

Contractor liens, sometimes called mechanics liens, are common and placed on a property when major work is done on the house.

Some are temporary, such as a lien for a new roof. These are placed on the house as insurance for the contractor that they will be paid after the job is complete. This type of lien is removed when the homeowner pays the bill in full.

Other contractor liens are placed on a home when the homeowner has failed to pay a bill and the contractor files a lien to ensure the work is paid when the house is sold.

Here is how to sell a home with a lien on it in Kansas City:

Locate a real estate agent or cash buyer: Look for a realtor or an investor with experience dealing with removing property liens.

Find a buyer: Agents will list and market a home, and that might include open houses and advertising. Unlike agents, we’re investors who move immediately to buy properties. We eliminate the hassle of marketing and holding open houses.

Sign a contract: Seller and buyer sign a sales contract. Traditional buyers need a mortgage, and all that goes with that process. This means delays as the seller waits for the buyer and house to qualify. The seller must allow the buyer to have home inspectors examine the property. Investors like us skip these steps and move right into escrow.

Open escrow: An agent or your investor then opens escrow on the property.

Complete a title report: Escrow will order a title report that will list the liens on the house.

Obtains mortgage and hazard insurance: With a traditional buyer, this can’t happen until all liens are removed from the property. We’re investors. We don’t need a traditional mortgage to buy your house.

Negotiate with lienholders: Sellers work with the lienholders to resolve issues to clear the title. Some real estate agents may have this experience and be willing to assist with this process, while many do not. We have expertise to guide you through this process.

Close escrow: Once the liens are cleared, or arranged to be cleared at funding, paperwork is signed to close the sale. Money is distributed to lienholders.

A quick answer to this question is, “Yes,” but finding a buyer for your house probably won’t happen unless you sell to an investor with experience handling this type of sale.

You can sell a house that has a child support lien in Kansas City, but that lien transfers to the new owner. It’s unlikely the new owner wants to buy a house with a lien, so the practical answer is, “No, unless you satisfy the lien.”

When you sell something with a lien, the lien stays with the house unless it’s paid by the seller – or paid off by the new buyer.

If there are errors in the judgment that resulted in the child support lien, and these aren’t corrected, the seller must deal with these disputes prior to closing the sale with a new owner.

The new owner won’t be able to challenge the original lien amount on the house. Only the current owner can do that.

Sellers must satisfy all child support liens on the property for a new buyer to obtain a new mortgage loan on the property. The new lender will not make a loan on a property purchase when the old child support liens are still attached to the house.

It’s not in the lender’s best interest, or in the new buyer’s best interest, to have those liens attached to the home after the title is transferred.

We can work with you to remove the child support liens when you agree to sell your house to us. Our cash offer can help you resolve a child support lien during the escrow process.
