Sell Your House
Even with CRIM Debt

Does the property owe years of CRIM property taxes? We buy it anyway. The debt is paid off at closing and you receive the rest in cash.

CRIM Debt Does Not Stop You from Selling

CRIM (Centro de Recaudación de Ingresos Municipales) collects property taxes in Puerto Rico. When a house goes years without paying them — common with inheritances and vacant properties — the debt grows with surcharges and interest, and CRIM can eventually place a lien on or even auction the property.

The good news: CRIM debt does not prevent a sale. Here is how it works:

  • We request a debt certification from CRIM to establish the exact balance
  • The debt is paid out of the sale price at closing — you advance nothing
  • The buyer receives the property free of debt and you receive the remainder in cash
  • If surcharges piled up, our team checks whether any CRIM adjustment or payment plan applies before closing

The same applies when the debt comes bundled with other problems: an unsettled inheritance, a mortgage in arrears, or a deteriorated house. We see it every day and know exactly what to request and from whom.

Don't let the debt keep growing. Call 787-209-8810 for free guidance.

How We Buy a House with CRIM Debt

We Verify the Debt

We Verify the Debt

With your authorization we request the debt certification from CRIM. That gives us the real balance — often different from what the letters say.

You Get Clear Numbers

You Get Clear Numbers

We present everything without surprises: sale price, debt to be settled, and what you walk away with. You decide with full information.

We Pay It Off and Close

We Pay It Off and Close

At closing, CRIM is paid directly and you receive your money in cash. The property ends up current and you end up free of the debt.

What to Know About CRIM When Selling

What if the debt is bigger than the house is worth?

Call us anyway. Depending on the case, CRIM balances can sometimes be negotiated or combined with other options. We will tell you honestly what is possible.

The house is inherited and the debt goes back years.

Very common: a relative passes away, nobody pays CRIM, and the debt grows quietly. We resolve the [inheritance](/en/sell/inherited-house) and the debt in a single sale process.

CRIM already sent a lien or auction notice.

You need to move fast, but a sale that pays the debt can almost always stop it. It is similar to a bank foreclosure — see [selling before the auction](/en/sell/house-in-foreclosure).

Does this also cover water and power debts?

Yes. Every debt attached to the property is identified and settled at closing, out of the sale price.

Tu Casa Cash pays the closing costs and our legal team handles the paperwork. You just collect your money.

I inherited a property on the island that was in bad condition, and I didn't have the resources to fix it. Tu Casa Cash came through with a great deal and closed the deal in just two weeks. Highly recommended!

John Texeira, Lawyer AJ Cacho were very understanding & respectful of my family's situation. They handled the purchase & transaction with my brother who still resides in Puerto Rico & whilst my other brother & I in the states very professionally. John was courteous, informative in constant contact throughout the entire process. Thank you John, I will definitely recommend you for those where I live are thinking of buying or selling their homes in Puerto Rico.
