Behind on Property Taxes or Facing a Lien? Sell Your Land for Cash in Washington State

---

Unpaid property taxes or legal liens can turn land ownership into a major financial headache. Whether you inherited the land, bought it years ago, or no longer plan to use it, falling behind on taxes can quickly snowball—leading to penalties, foreclosure, or loss of the property altogether.

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help landowners across Washington State turn troubled properties into cash—fast. We specialize in buying land in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Olympia, Vancouver, and rural areas, regardless of back taxes, liens, or title issues.

We offer easy home buyer solutions that allow you to sell quickly and avoid the stress of legal action, mounting fees, or further debt.

What Happens If You Owe Back Taxes on Land in Washington?

If you fail to pay your annual property taxes in Washington State, the county eventually initiates a tax foreclosure process. Here’s a general timeline of what that looks like:

• Year 1: Taxes become delinquent; interest and penalties begin to accrue.
• Year 2: Additional penalties apply; the county may send notice of impending foreclosure.
• Year 3+: The land is eligible for auction and can be sold at a tax foreclosure sale.

Many counties—including King, Pierce, Spokane, and Thurston—will seize and auction land with unpaid taxes, even if it’s just raw land. Once it’s sold at auction, you lose all rights to it.

Selling your land before it reaches this point is critical.

What Are Liens, and Can I Still Sell My Land?

A lien is a legal claim placed on your property due to unpaid debt, such as:

• Property tax liens
• IRS or state tax liens
• Judgment liens from court cases
• HOA liens
• Mechanics’ liens (for unpaid contractor work)

In most cases, yes—you can still sell your land. A cash land buyer like REI Branded Home Buyer can often pay off the lien at closing and handle all the paperwork so you don’t have to.
