How to sell a house in Kings County

Kings County is a compact agricultural county with a modest buyer pool, and homes tied to farm or dairy work, older neighborhoods in Hanford and Corcoran, or inherited family property are common. A traditional sale means waiting for a buyer whose loan clears an appraisal. A cash sale replaces that with a written offer and a date you choose.

1. Send us the details by form or at (424) 435-2326.
2. Get a written offer within 24 hours.
3. Choose the closing date.
4. Close through escrow; taxes and liens come out of the proceeds.

What happens if I miss a Kings County property tax deadline?

Payments are due by December 10 and April 10. After 5 p.m. on December 10 a 10 percent penalty applies. After 5 p.m. on April 10 the penalty is 10 percent plus a $20 cost. Anything unpaid after June 30 adds a $30 redemption fee and 1.5 percent a month.

If you sell, escrow pays the balance from your proceeds, so ask the Tax Collector’s office in Hanford for the payoff amount for your closing month. The office is closed after noon on Fridays, so plan visits accordingly.

What does it cost to sell a house in Kings County?

Plan for the transfer tax, unpaid taxes or liens and the prorated current-year tax. A listing adds agent commissions and repair costs; our cash offers do not.
