    Facing Tax Liens or Code Violations?

    We buy properties with heavy liens, unpaid taxes, and severe code violations in Chicago and Atlanta. Get cash and settle your debts before it's too late.

    Stop Fines and Foreclosures in Illinois & Georgia

    In Illinois, the Cook County Treasurer's office can pursue tax lien foreclosure on properties with as little as two years of delinquent property taxes. Once a tax lien certificate is sold at the annual tax sale, property owners typically have only a 2.5-year redemption window before losing the property entirely. In Georgia, Fulton and DeKalb County governments move even faster — properties can be sold at a tax auction in as little as one year of delinquency. On top of unpaid taxes, city departments in both Chicago and Atlanta regularly issue code violation fines that can accumulate into tens of thousands of dollars, placing additional liens on the title that make a traditional sale nearly impossible.

    One Piece Home Buyers has extensive experience purchasing properties with existing tax liens, code violation judgments, and other title encumbrances. When we buy your house, we work directly with the title company and your local tax authority to negotiate and pay off all outstanding liens at closing. You don't need to come to the table with cash to resolve these debts — we handle it as part of the transaction, and you walk away with whatever equity remains after those obligations are settled. For many homeowners, this is the difference between losing everything to the government and actually recovering some of their investment.

    • We negotiate and pay off liens at closing
    • Avoid tax auction or government foreclosure
    • We take over code violation repairs and fines
    • Walk away with cash in your pocket
    • Works even with multiple judgments on title
    • We close fast — before your redemption window expires

    Don't let the government take your property for pennies on the dollar at a tax auction. Selling to One Piece Home Buyers gives you a dignified exit that puts money in your pocket rather than letting all your equity evaporate in a public sale.

    Time is critical in these situations. Call us immediately at (773) 839-5575 or contact us online and we'll prioritize your case.

    How We Handle Tax Liens & Code Violations at Closing

    Unlike a traditional buyer who will walk away the moment a title search reveals liens or violations, One Piece Home Buyers plans for these situations from the start. We conduct a thorough lien search on your property, factor all outstanding debts into our offer calculation, and coordinate directly with the title company and your local tax authority to ensure a clean transfer of ownership. Our closing attorneys in Illinois and Georgia are experienced in handling complex title situations — so what seems impossible through a traditional sale becomes a straightforward process with us.

    Lien Payoff at Closing

    All tax liens and code violation judgments are paid directly from closing proceeds — no out-of-pocket expense for you.
