Sell your with back taxes owed Lakeland house for cash — we buy direct
Owing back property taxes doesn't stop you from selling — but it does compress the timeline before the county can move to tax sale. A cash sale pays off the taxes directly from the proceeds at closing, often before any auction would happen. We buy tax-delinquent property routinely and can close on these.
Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.
How the Florida timeline works
Florida is a judicial-foreclosure state: the lender must sue and the case works through the court, which usually takes many months and sometimes years. That is more runway to sell than in trustee-sale states, but interest, fees, and legal costs keep accruing the whole time.
Florida closings are typically handled by a title agent or closing attorney depending on the county; either way a cash sale commonly closes in two to three weeks.
