Can I sell land with existing liens in Arizona?

Yes, you can sell. We buy properties with land liens every week. We negotiate payoffs, then escrow pays lienholders at closing. If needed, we use holdbacks while final releases record. You get paid once title is insurable and the liens are satisfied or waived.

What happens if I’m behind on Arizona property taxes?

The 16% penalty stacks fast. Counties can sell tax lien certificates, and foreclosure can follow in 3–5 years. We redeem before auction or foreclosure, stop interest, and roll payoffs into closing. You avoid the auction, extra fees, and ongoing notices.

Title company says they won’t insure because of liens. Now what?

Title companies block closings when land liens remain. We clear the file by getting written payoff letters, negotiating releases, and curing any chain-of-title issues. For stubborn liens, we arrange court-approved resolutions with your attorney. Once liens clear or are insured over, we close.

Do HOA or mechanics liens expire if I wait?

Waiting usually costs more. HOAs can escalate fines and pursue foreclosure under Arizona statutes. Mechanics liens can be enforced if timely recorded and sued upon. We don’t gamble on deadlines. We contact the claimant, verify validity, and settle before costs spike.

Can you buy during probate or divorce when liens exist?

Yes, with proper approvals. Arizona probate may require court authorization and personal representative signatures. Divorce sales need both spouses or a court order under community property rules. We coordinate with your attorney, clear land liens, and pay everyone due at closing.

Why Land Liens is Hard to Sell Traditionally

Traditional buyers shy away from land liens. Realtors in Arizona often avoid listings with mechanics, HOA, IRS, or judgment liens because title companies won’t insure until they’re cleared. Financing dies the moment a lien pops on the title report.

While you wait, the property bleeds money. Arizona slaps a 16% annual penalty on delinquent taxes, and counties can move toward a tax lien sale in 3–5 years. HOAs stack fines, brush clearing costs add up, and the summer heat doesn’t pause those bills.

The stress is real. You get certified letters, calls from creditors, and pressure from heirs or ex-spouses. Neighbor fights over easements flare up, water rights questions stall buyers, and out-of-state owners feel stuck managing Arizona problems from afar.

Normal solutions don’t work with land liens. Cash buyers vanish when they learn about lien priority or IRS payoff rules. Lenders refuse raw land without legal access, and title companies won’t close until every lienholder signs off. Even solid offers collapse when BLM or state trust land blocks access and historical claims are disputed.

How We Buy Land Liens in Arizona

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Property and Liens

Fill out our quick form (takes 60 seconds) or call Nathan directly at 928-928-4109. Tell me what land liens you’re facing, the parcel location, size, access situation, tax status, and whether probate, divorce, or foreclosure is involved.

Step 2: Get Your Cash Offer in 24 Hours

We pull title, check county treasurer records, contact HOAs, contractors, and judgment creditors, and review any attorney or court documents. Then we factor Arizona market data and give you a fair, no-pressure cash offer in 24 hours. No waiting games.

Step 3: We Handle Lien Resolution and Paperwork

We negotiate payoffs, secure releases, and set up escrow to pay the right parties at closing. For probate, we coordinate with your estate attorney and the court. For divorce, we obtain required signatures or orders. For taxes, we redeem liens before auction deadlines.

Step 4: Close on Your Timeline

Pick a date: 7 days, 30 days, or in between. We cover closing costs and work with an Arizona title company to finalize everything. Most sellers with land liens choose 14–21 days so lienholders can return payoff letters.

Serving All Arizona Cities

We buy land liens throughout Arizona, including Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa, plus every corner along I-10, I-17, Loop 101, and Loop 202. We purchase in all 15 counties: Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, Coconino, Mohave, Yuma, Cochise, and the rest.

Urban parcels with HOA liens or rural tracts wrapped by state trust or BLM land don’t scare us. Whether your land sits in busy Maricopa County or remote Apache County, we’ll make a fair, no-obligation offer and close when you’re ready.

Common Land Liens Situations We Handle

Mechanics liens from contractors - We verify recorded claims, negotiate discounted payoffs, and collect lien releases for title.
HOA liens and fines - We order ledgers, settle violations, obtain estoppels, and pay the association through escrow at closing.
Back taxes with 16% penalties - We redeem tax liens before county auction and stop the interest clock immediately.
Judgment liens from lawsuits - We contact creditors, structure lump-sum settlements, and record satisfactions to clear title.
IRS or state tax liens - We request official payoffs, handle discharge paperwork, and wire funds per federal or state instructions.
Probate or divorce tied to liens - We coordinate with attorneys, secure court approvals, and gather all required signatures.

Recent example: A Cochise County five-acre parcel had HOA liens and three years of back taxes. We negotiated 42% off combined payoffs and closed in 18 days. Seller walked with cash and zero lingering debt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy Arizona land with mechanics, HOA, or judgment liens?

Yes, we clear liens at closing. Title companies refuse to insure with unresolved liens. We verify priority, order payoff statements, negotiate reductions, and fund payoffs from proceeds. You don't front cash. We handle mechanics, HOA, judgment, and tax liens from Phoenix to Tucson.

What if there are multiple liens on my Arizona property?

We untangle lien stacks. Senior liens get paid first (property taxes, IRS), then junior liens (mechanics, HOA, judgments). We coordinate with attorneys, negotiate discounts, and secure releases. Title companies need clean title, and we deliver it across Mesa, Chandler, and statewide.

Will you pay HOA liens and back dues at closing?

We pay HOA balances. Arizona HOAs can foreclose for unpaid dues and assessments. We request a demand letter, verify total owed, negotiate when possible, and pay at closing. You avoid foreclosure, protect your credit, and walk with net proceeds from Gilbert to Scottsdale.

Can you buy land with IRS or state tax liens attached?

We handle federal and state liens. IRS liens attach to all property and must be addressed for clear title. We verify lien amounts, request Certificate of Discharge or subordination, and coordinate payoffs. We've resolved complex tax liens in Tempe, Peoria, and across Arizona.

How long does it take to clear liens and close?

Typically 14–30 days. We order payoff statements, negotiate with lienholders, and coordinate releases. Complex stacks (multiple IRS, mechanics, and judgment liens) can take longer. Once releases arrive, we close and wire your net proceeds from Glendale to rural counties.
