Plano, Texas — almost all in Collin County; a strip on the city's west side is in Denton County, which has its own courts and tax office.
Plano houses usually sell well once they're updated, but a 1980s two-story with its original kitchen, a cracked pool and a tired roof competes with newer homes in Frisco and McKinney. A cash sale lets a Plano owner sell it as it stands, on a closing date they pick.
Instead of calling buyer after buyer, send one request. Cash buyers who work in Collin County compete for the house, and we match you with the one that fits your price and your timeline.

Common situations in Collin County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Plano estates are handled by the Collin County Probate Court in McKinney. If the house was left by a will that names an independent executor, that executor can usually sign the deed without asking the judge to approve the sale.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
A Collin County foreclosure starts with a notice of default and a chance to cure, then a notice of sale filed with the county clerk; the trustee's auction is held on the first Tuesday of a month. Once the auction happens, Texas gives the former owner no right to buy the house back. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector sends most Plano owners one bill for the county, the city and the school district. Bills not paid by the end of January start running penalties and interest, and a collection fee is added in the summer before the account goes to a tax attorney.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Plano's property standards inspectors respond to complaints about overgrown yards, junk, open pools and run-down exteriors, and can have the work done and bill it to the owner as a lien.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Plano evictions are filed in the Collin County Justice of the Peace court for the precinct where the house is. The landlord usually has to deliver a written notice to vacate first, and either side can appeal the judgment to the county court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Plano: questions
My Plano house has an HOA and a pool that needs work. Will that scare off a cash buyer?
No. Cash buyers in Plano see pools and HOAs all the time. Have the HOA's contact information and any open violation letters ready, because the title company will ask the HOA for a resale certificate and the balance owed.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Plano?
Texas sales close through a title company, which pays off the loan, the taxes and any HOA balance before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Collin County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
