Behind on property taxes? Your county is running a quiet clock.

The county never calls. It adds 1.5% a month, waits five years, and mails you the ending by certified letter. Our free one-page Five-Year Clock timeline shows exactly how it works, and every way off of it.

The question you're probably asking: is this a home buyer that just wants my house? Yes, we're a Sacramento-based home buyer working Sacramento, Placer and San Joaquin counties, and if you ever wanted to sell before the clock runs out, we'd talk about that. The timeline is free either way. No listing, no showings, and nobody calls unless you ask.

What's in the timeline

The whole clock, from the June 30 default to your county's auction (each county runs its own sale calendar; the timeline shows all three)
The five-year payment plan the county doesn't advertise, and its two strict deadlines
The penalty relief application for hardship cases (it costs nothing to file)
Why you still own the house until the auction itself, and what that's worth to you
The three traps: the letter you never got still counts, the plan deadline comes early, and a code-case lien can shrink five years to three

The part nobody tells you: the law says the tax sale goes forward even if you never receive the certified letter. The clock doesn't need your signature.

"Got to admit, selling my house was easy. No annoying negotiations, no paperwork avalanche, just simplicity. The rep was patient and explained the whole process completely. They gave me a fair offer, taking a load off my mind. Skip the open houses, forget about waiting months on end. It was wrapped up neat and fast."

"No confusion, no endless back-and-forths, and certainly no paperwork nightmares. The rep was totally laid-back, never rushed things, and was super clear about everything. The price they offered was fair. No staging, no waiting forever. Best choice I've ever made."
