Possibly, but act immediately. Greene County states that property owing two or more years of delinquent taxes on May 1 may be offered at the annual tax sale unless taxes are paid before the sale. A normal closing needs time to verify title, collect funds, and deliver the payoff.
What Springfield homeowners should know
Contact the Greene County Collector for the current amount and status, then give all notices to a title company and attorney as needed. Publication, auction, certificate, redemption, and deed stages have different consequences.
Do not rely on a purchase contract alone to stop a government sale. Confirm in writing that the required funds and documents will reach the proper office before the controlling deadline.
Practical checklist
- Verify current tax-sale status
- Request the exact payoff
- Open title immediately
- Use a realistic closing deadline
- Confirm payment before the sale
How to make the decision
Local title, taxes, utilities, access, and property condition can change the timeline. A property-specific review is more useful than a generic online estimate.
A direct cash sale is one option—not the only option. You can request a written offer, compare it with a realistic agent net or another buyer’s terms, and decline if it does not fit. The property address, condition, ownership, title, occupancy, and deadline all matter.
