How we help when property taxes are behind
Unpaid property taxes can add pressure through notices, growing balances, and the possibility of a tax sale process. Kevin Buys Baltimore Houses (KDD Development LLC) is a local cash buyer for owners who want to discuss an as-is sale instead of waiting while the tax situation and carrying costs continue.
- Owners who are behind on Baltimore property taxes or received a tax-default notice
- Sellers who want to compare a direct cash purchase with continuing to wait or list
- Properties that need repairs, have deferred maintenance, or would be difficult to show
- Anyone looking for a straightforward sale without staging or open houses
Not legal or tax advice. We are a cash buyer, not your attorney, tax adviser, or the city, and we cannot guarantee or stop a tax sale, change a tax balance, or interpret a notice. Ask a licensed Maryland attorney or qualified tax professional about your rights, deadlines, and options. This page focuses on property-tax delinquency, not mortgage pre-foreclosure, city code enforcement, or vacancy. For mortgage distress, see Sell Before Foreclosure. For an empty house, see Sell a Vacant House in Baltimore. For citations or repair orders, see Sell a Baltimore House with Code Violations.

Cash sale vs. waiting or listing while taxes mount
A cash buyer isn’t right for every owner—but some Baltimore sellers compare a direct sale with continuing to carry the property while a tax balance or tax-default concern remains.
| Topic | Cash with KDD | Waiting or typical retail listing |
|---|---|---|
| Property condition | Buy as-is; you generally don’t have to renovate or stage first | May require preparation, repairs, or buyer concessions |
| Tax pressure | Discuss a sale and closing timeline while reviewing title and tax information | Property taxes and other carrying costs may continue while you wait or list |
| Showings | Direct buyer; no open-house schedule required | Appointments, access, and buyer traffic during the listing |
| Fees | No agent commission from our purchase | Listing fees and seller concessions may apply |
| Best when | You want to compare a direct as-is sale and a defined path forward | You can wait, prepare the house, and manage the listing process |

Common questions about selling when taxes are behind
Will you buy a Baltimore house with delinquent property taxes?
We can discuss an as-is cash purchase when property taxes are behind. Tell us what you know about the balance, notices, and property condition so the offer and closing conversation can account for the situation. Title and closing review are still required.
Can you stop a tax sale or remove my tax balance?
No guarantees. We are a cash real estate buyer, not attorneys, tax professionals, or city representatives. We do not provide legal or tax advice and cannot promise to stop a tax sale or change what is owed. For deadlines, notices, payment arrangements, or legal rights, contact the appropriate Maryland or Baltimore City office and a qualified adviser.
Do I need to pay the taxes before asking for an offer?
You can ask us about an offer without first completing repairs or preparing the house for showings. Share the tax information you have; any taxes, liens, or other charges and how they are handled must be reviewed with the closing professionals and reflected in the transaction documents. We do not promise to pay your taxes as a separate service.
How fast is the cash offer and closing?
A cash offer typically comes within about 24 hours after we have the property details we need. Closing speed depends on title, tax and lien information, and your readiness. Tell us what timeline you need.
Is requesting an offer a contract?
No. Submitting the form or calling for an offer is not a contract. You’re free to compare options and decide.
Is this the same as mortgage pre-foreclosure?
Not necessarily. This page focuses on property-tax delinquency. Mortgage pre-foreclosure involves a loan and mortgage payments; if that is your main concern, see Sell a Baltimore House Before Foreclosure. If the main issue is vacancy or city code notices, see Sell a Vacant House in Baltimore or Sell a Baltimore House with Code Violations.
Are there realtor fees when you buy?
When you sell directly to us, you’re not paying a traditional listing commission on our purchase. Net proceeds still depend on price, closing costs, and any mortgages, taxes, liens, or other charges—ask us to walk through the numbers on your offer.
