After-repair value
We look at nearby sales and what the house could be worth after repairs.
Back property taxes are scary because they feel like a clock is running. In many sales, the tax balance does not have to be paid before you talk with a buyer. It can be confirmed by title and paid from closing proceeds if there is enough equity.

"Logan and his team made selling my house so much easier than I expected. They came out, looked at the place, gave me a fair offer, and we closed in two weeks. No hassle, no pressure. Just good people doing what they said they'd do."

Direct Answer
Dominion Homes buys Spokane-area houses with delinquent property taxes when title can close the sale. Back taxes are typically treated as a lien and paid through escrow from the sale proceeds.
We care about the real payoff number, not just the online value estimate. Taxes, liens, repairs, and timing all need to be put on the same page before the deal makes sense.
Offer Math
A cash offer is based on the house, repairs, costs, timing, and how quickly you want to close.
We look at nearby sales and what the house could be worth after repairs.
Roof, systems, flooring, cleanup, tenants, and old repairs all affect the offer.
Taxes, utilities, insurance, closing costs, and resale risk are part of the math.
A fast as-is sale can mean fewer delays, no showings, and a clearer closing date.
Protect Yourself
You should be able to slow down, check the details, and compare options. A legitimate buyer will not make that hard.
Ask who is actually buying the property.
Use a real title or escrow company.
Ask for written terms, deadlines, and any cancellation rights.
Do not pay upfront fees or sign under pressure.
Property taxes are not just a personal bill. They are tied to the property. That means title will usually collect and pay them at closing before the seller receives proceeds.
If the house has enough value after mortgages, taxes, liens, and closing costs, a sale may solve the tax problem. If there is not enough equity, the path may be more complicated.
Tax timelines, foreclosure notices, and title issues can make a simple sale harder if everyone waits too long. The earlier you know the numbers, the more options you have.
How It Works
We look at public tax records and then let title confirm the actual payoff.
The offer accounts for repairs, cleanup, and the tax payoff that must be handled.
If the sale closes, delinquent taxes are typically paid before proceeds are released.
Questions Sellers Ask
Often yes. The back taxes usually need to be paid at closing, but they do not always have to be paid before you get an offer.
They can if there is not enough equity or if there are other title problems. A title company can confirm the payoff and requirements.
In many cases the cleanest path is for title to pay delinquent taxes from the purchase proceeds at closing, so the payoff is documented correctly.
That is common. We buy houses as-is, so the repair condition and tax payoff are both considered in the offer.
