Back taxes are piling up
Unpaid taxes may create pressure, delays, or tax-sale risk.

Need to Sell Inherited Property With Back Taxes?
Unpaid property taxes can create pressure fast, especially when inherited property is also stuck because of title, probate, heirs, liens, or unclear ownership.
I’m Matt Matich with LandHat LLC. I work independently with heirs, partial owners, and family decision-makers when inherited property is blocked and back taxes are making the situation harder to ignore.
If I cannot answer, leave the property address, the owner’s name, your connection to the property, and what you know about the back taxes or tax sale pressure.
No call center. No national franchise. No fake “team standing by.” You are contacting Matt directly.
What This Usually Means
Back taxes can turn an inherited property problem into a deadline problem. The family may still need to figure out who can sign, who owns what, and whether the property can be sold before taxes, fees, penalties, or tax sale pressure get worse.
Tax sale pressure
The property may already be on a tax sale list or moving toward tax foreclosure.
Deceased owner on record
The deed, tax bill, or title may still show someone who has passed away.
Family cannot agree
Taxes may keep growing while heirs or partial owners disagree about what to do.
Why the sale gets blocked
The main problem is time, authority, and tax pressure.
Back taxes alone may not stop a sale. The bigger problem is when taxes are growing while nobody has clear authority, nobody is taking action, or the family cannot agree on a sale path.
How much is owed?
The amount of back taxes, penalties, interest, and fees affects whether a sale path makes sense.
Who can sign?
A sale can still be blocked if the deceased owner is on record or the heirs are not aligned.
How much time is left?
Tax sale, tax foreclosure, redemption, or county deadlines may change what options are realistic.
Common signs
This may be your situation if any of this sounds familiar.
The tax bill is unpaid.
Property taxes may be unpaid for one year, several years, or long enough to create serious pressure.
The county sent notices.
Tax sale, tax foreclosure, redemption, or delinquent tax notices may already be showing up.
The owner has passed away.
The taxes may still be tied to a deceased owner while the family has not cleaned up ownership.
The family is waiting too long.
Heirs may be arguing, avoiding the problem, or hoping someone else handles the property.

Questions People Ask Before Calling
Can you sell inherited property with back taxes?
Sometimes. Back taxes can block or pressure a sale, but they do not always make a sale impossible. The facts matter, including how much is owed, whether there is tax sale pressure, who owns the property, and whether the people with authority are willing to sell.
What if the property is already in tax sale or tax foreclosure?
That can create urgency. If the property is already in a tax sale, tax foreclosure, or redemption period, the timeline matters. I look at these situations when an heir, partial owner, or family decision-maker may want to sell before the problem gets worse.
Do back taxes have to be paid before selling inherited property?
Usually unpaid taxes have to be dealt with before or at closing. The practical question is whether there is enough value, enough time, and enough cooperation from the right people to make a sale path work.
