Can I Sell My Home if I Have IRS or FTB Tax Liens?

Yes, you can absolutely sell your home even if you have tax liens. However, there are some important things to consider and steps you need to take in order to successfully complete the sale.

First, it's crucial to understand the extent of the tax liens on your property. The IRS and the FTB place liens on property when taxpayers fail to pay their taxes. These liens give the government a legal claim to your property as security for the tax debt. You need to determine the exact amount of the tax liens against your property, including the principal amount owed, plus any interest and penalties that have accrued. Basically, these tax liens will be paid off at the closing of the sale just like a mortgage.

Because selling a home with tax liens can be complicated, it is wise to seek the assistance of an Attorney/Realtor who can help you navigate the process and ensure that all legal requirements are met. In many cases, it may be possible to negotiate with the IRS and the FTB to release the tax lien or to accept a partial payment in exchange for releasing the lien. At Lawyers Realty Group, we have successfully negotiated on behalf of hundreds of homeowners to free them from their tax burden, facilitate the sale of their homes, and help them move forward with a clean slate.
