Selling With Unpaid Property Taxes in St. Louis
Unpaid St. Louis County or City property taxes usually pay from closing proceeds if the sale covers them. House Sold Easy buys as-is; the title company lines up the collector payoff.
This page is the tax-bill question. The combined lien page is can I sell with a lien or back taxes?. The situation page is sell a house with liens. The longer guide is selling with unpaid property taxes. Not tax or legal advice.
County vs City
St. Louis County and the City of St. Louis bill separately. Your collector is the one on the tax statement, not the mailing city on the envelope. Title orders the payoff from that office. We do not publish a penalty schedule or a sale-date calendar, those come from the collector and the title search.
What to bring
- The last tax bill or collector notice you have
- Whether a sale date is already set
- The address, including municipality

The collector changes. The walk and the as-is offer do not.
