Sell Your Tax Lien House Fast in Newport News
In Virginia, real property taxes become a lien on the property on January 1 of each tax year under Code of Virginia § 58.1-3340, meaning even a tax bill that hasn't been paid yet is already legally attached to the title from that date forward. When taxes go unpaid, the locality can file a Bill in Equity in the Circuit Court of the jurisdiction where the property sits, and under § 58.1-3965 a locality may commence that court action once taxes have been delinquent for two years on most properties, or just one year on properties that have been abandoned or deemed blighted. After a judge orders a judicial tax sale, the property is sold at public auction, and the former owner has a statutory right of redemption — the ability to pay off all delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs — up until the court confirms the sale, which typically occurs several weeks after the auction itself. Some Virginia localities also offer installment payment plans, treasurer-level hardship deferrals, and in limited cases real estate tax exemptions or freezes for elderly or disabled homeowners under § 58.1-3210 through § 58.1-3217, so homeowners who reach out to their local treasurer's office before a court suit is filed often have more options than they realize.
