Back property taxes in Davis County? Utah can sell your home for unpaid taxes after 36 months of delinquency. We buy houses with tax liens — pay the taxes at closing, give you the difference in cash, save your credit.
Falling behind on property taxes in Davis County, Utah can spiral fast. Utah counties begin tax sale proceedings after a fixed period of property tax delinquency.

You walk away free of the tax burden with cash in hand.
Bankruptcy treatment of Utah property tax obligations differs from regular debts. Property taxes are typically priority unsecured claims that survive Chapter 7 discharge. Davis debtors discharging mortgage debt may still owe property taxes; the underlying property exposure remains.
Utah payment plans for delinquent property taxes exist in some Davis County jurisdictions. Davis homeowners can stop tax-sale acceleration by entering plans; default reactivates the timeline. Plans require monthly capability; not all homeowners qualify.
BuyHousesInCash handles tax-delinquent Davis properties without requiring the seller to bring money to closing. The math just needs sale proceeds to exceed the tax debt, mortgage payoff, and our offer. When equity is too thin to cover all three, we work with lenders on short sale and with the county on tax-arrear negotiations.
Tax foreclosure in Utah (judicial in some counties, administrative in others) moves on a fixed schedule once initiated — Davis County's process from filing to sheriff's deed runs roughly 6-9 months. Selling at any point before final transfer pays off the lien and gives the homeowner the remaining equity. After the deed transfers, that equity belongs to the new owner.

Yes. Federal IRS tax liens against you personally do attach to Davis County real estate. The IRS has procedures (Form 14135) to discharge a property from the lien at closing in exchange for paying the lien amount or a portion. BuyHousesInCash works with title companies experienced in IRS lien discharges. Utah state tax liens follow similar processes.
The math has to work — sale proceeds need to cover the back taxes plus our offer price. If you have $50,000 in back taxes on a $200,000 Davis County home, we have plenty of room. If back taxes are $180,000 on a $200,000 home, the offer becomes minimal. We'll run the numbers transparently and tell you what you'd net before any commitment.

The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Utah tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you.

Selling to BuyHousesInCash doesn't directly impact credit. The negative items — late mortgage payments, judgments, the tax lien itself — already affect your credit. Selling clears those liens, which over time helps your credit recover. Compare to a tax sale: losing the home plus continued lien on credit report. The voluntary sale is almost always the better credit outcome.
