Falling behind on property taxes in Loudoun County, Virginia can spiral fast. Virginia 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.
Virginia property tax bills compound their consequences. The original tax becomes delinquent, then penalty interest, then collection fees, then attorney costs once the county initiates legal proceedings. A Loudoun homeowner who fell $4,000 behind two years ago typically owes $7,000-$9,000 by the time the tax sale is calendared. Cash sale proceeds pay it all at closing.
Tax foreclosure in Virginia (judicial in some counties, administrative in others) moves on a fixed schedule once initiated — Loudoun 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.
Bankruptcy can pause a Virginia tax sale via the automatic stay, but only briefly. Property taxes are typically priority unsecured debt in Chapter 13 and survive Chapter 7 discharge entirely. Loudoun homeowners hoping bankruptcy will solve tax arrears usually discover it postpones rather than eliminates the problem.
Virginia payment plans for delinquent property taxes exist in some Loudoun County jurisdictions. Loudoun homeowners can stop tax-sale acceleration by entering plans; default reactivates the timeline. Plans require monthly capability; not all homeowners qualify.

No. BuyHousesInCash pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing.

Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Virginia provides a redemption period during which you can pay off the certificate plus interest and reclaim your property.

Yes. Federal IRS tax liens against you personally do attach to Loudoun 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. Virginia 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 Loudoun 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.
Common scenario. Both get paid off at closing from sale proceeds. The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Virginia tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you.

Most Virginia counties will postpone or cancel a scheduled tax sale once they receive proof of a pending sale to a buyer who will pay off the delinquent taxes. BuyHousesInCash' title company submits the contract and proof of funds directly to the Loudoun County tax office to halt the sale. We've stopped tax auctions with as little as 5 days notice.
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.
