Yes. We regularly buy tax-delinquent properties in Washington, DC and can pay off the outstanding taxes at closing, clearing the debt as part of the sale.

What happens if I ignore delinquent taxes in Washington, DC?

Often yes. Homes in Washington, DC average about $650,000; after the back taxes are paid from the proceeds, any remaining equity goes to you.

Do I need to pay the taxes before selling to you?

No. The taxes are typically settled directly from the sale proceeds at closing, so you don't need to come up with the money first.
