About Us: Tax Lien Services Unlimited (TLS)

Established with a vision to provide lucrative investment opportunities, TLS specializes in acquiring and servicing portfolios of Kentucky delinquent property tax liens. With a wealth of experience dating back to 1995, TLS has been a trusted partner for institutional, private, and diverse investors. Over the last two decades, we’ve honed our expertise in managing Kentucky property tax liens.

The TLS payoff call center works with taxpayers and interested parties to settle their delinquent tax debt. Most liens redeem during the statutory redemption period. In some instances, it may be necessary for TLS to take title to the property and sell it, in order to recover the investment..

Our Approach: Business Process

TLS acquires real estate tax liens from Kentucky counties, utilizing funds to support essential government services. Rigorous due diligence on properties, evaluation of historical asset performance, and strategic buying parameters guide our investment decisions. Our proprietary system, MORT, efficiently tracks tax liens from purchase to resolution, ensuring a transparent and secure process for our clients and taxpayers.

After purchase, tax liens are tracked in MORT, a proprietary system. The property owner pays the back to the Kentucky county through TLS along with the statutory interest and fees. Most liens redeem during the statutory redemption period. In some instances, it may be necessary for TLS to take title to the property and sell it, in order to recover the investment.

Investor Tax Lien Strategy

Municipal tax liens are created when real estate owners fail to pay their property taxes. The municipalities charge interest and penalties on the delinquent amount. Most municipalities have stringent laws that allow them to place a lien on the underlying property, with allowance for a relatively fast-tracked process to foreclose on the property if the taxes remain unpaid for an extended period of time. Upon foreclosure, the property is acquired by the lienholder free and clear of any underlying mortgages. Our tax lien strategy enables clients to benefit from the above average yields afforded by these relatively low-risk, highly secured, high-credit, and quality instruments.

Commitment to Integrity: Investor Strategy

We are dedicated to treating all taxpayers respectfully, fairly, and consistently. Our service centers implement extensive tracking and control measures to uphold these values.

Investment Approach

TLS’ investment approach focuses on:

  1. Acquiring high-quality assets through superior due diligence, financial analysis, and proprietary systems and procedures.
  2. Servicing purchased liens efficiently through superior portfolio analysis, in conjunction with state-of-the-art systems and technology.
  3. Managing mature liens by applying specific knowledge and understanding of state tax lien statues, leveraging extensive relationships with attorneys, brokers, contractors, and title companies in this process.

How Tax Liens Work

Many states require their counties and municipalities to sell tax liens to the public when property taxes are delinquent. Investors acquire property tax liens primarily to earn statutory interest on their investment. States would rather have their counties receive cash instead of a receivable. The proceeds from tax lien sales are used to fund municipal services, such as schools, fire and police services, and so on. Each state has its own statutes that regulate the sale of tax liens. With the purchase, the investor is assigned the county’s legal rights to collect the delinquent taxes being sold.
