Debts that may survive the tax sale and become your responsibility
Critical: Municipal liens, water/sewer balances, and school-district taxes can survive a PA tax sale. You may inherit these obligations as the new owner — even after the Sheriff's Deed is recorded. Verify all balances before bidding.
Not verified — no county record matched this parcel
Parcel 1002-C-54 was not found in county records, so we cannot confirm whether liens exist. Absence of a match is not absence of liens — verify municipal & school-district balances directly before bidding.

County FMV not available — enter your post-repair value.
Monthly carry = taxes on assessed value + insurance on ARV + utilities.
PA default (2%: 1% state + 1% local). Verify the local rate for this municipality — edit if different.
Enter a purchase price and ARV to see projected profit and ROI.
Formulas & assumed rates (Moderate):
• Repairs = 9% of ARV (no living area on file) = $0
• Closing = purchase × 1.5% (title/insurance) + purchase × 2% (PA poundage) + $50 deed + $100 recording = $414
• Holding = monthly carry × 6 mo [taxes: assessed × 2.8% /12 = $0; insurance: ARV × 0.3% /12 = $0; utilities $150/mo] = $150/mo → $900
• Selling = ARV × 5% (agent commission) + ARV × 2% (PA realty transfer tax — Clairton) + $300 settlement = $300
• Transfer tax is customarily split 50/50 between buyer and seller; we charge the full amount to the seller side as the conservative case. Confirm the current rate for Clairton.
