Behind on Property Taxes? You May Still Have Options.

Property tax problems can become more complicated the longer they go unresolved. If keeping the property no longer makes sense, selling it may be one option worth considering.

A CALM FIRST STEP

You Don’t Have to Have Everything Figured Out First.

You can contact Pointer even if you’re unsure exactly how much is owed, have received legal papers, inherited the property, have other owners involved, or are uncertain about the title. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions to understand the property and circumstances. We don’t provide legal or tax advice, and every situation is different.

COMMON CIRCUMSTANCES

Situations We Often Look At

Several Years of Unpaid Property Taxes

Unpaid taxes can add up over time and make the property harder to manage or sell.

A Tax Lawsuit or Collection Notice

Notices or a lawsuit can create pressure and may involve more than one party or document.

An Approaching Tax-Sale Date

Contacting Pointer as early as possible is important. Available options may become more limited as a scheduled sale approaches.

Delinquent Taxes on Inherited Property

Inherited property can involve family coordination, paperwork, and tax issues at the same time.

Multiple Owners When Taxes Haven’t Been Paid

When several people have an interest, taxes and next steps can be harder to sort out.

Property Taxes Plus Other Liens or Title Complications

Other liens or title questions can add complexity beyond unpaid property taxes.

DIRECT PROPERTY PURCHASES

How Pointer May Be Able to Help

If a direct purchase makes sense, Pointer may be able to purchase the property and work through the closing process with the title company. Delinquent property taxes and other verified obligations affecting the property can typically be identified and addressed as part of closing, with any remaining proceeds distributed according to the final settlement.

Every property is different. Pointer reviews ownership, taxes, liens, title issues, and other available information before determining whether a purchase may be possible. We don’t provide legal or tax advice, and no particular outcome is guaranteed.

BEFORE YOU CALL

You Don’t Need All the Answers Before Calling.

You don’t need to understand every tax, lien, ownership, or title issue before contacting Pointer. Helpful information may include the property address; names associated with the property; tax, collection, or legal paperwork; and known liens, title issues, or ownership complications. None of this is required before starting a conversation.
