Can the IRS Take Your House? A Look at Property Seizure
Are you lying awake wondering if the IRS can actually take your house? You’re not alone and the answer is unsettling for anyone with tax troubles. The IRS can and does seize homes for unpaid taxes.

The Real Fear: Home Seizure Is Not a Myth
Picture this: You ignore those IRS notices, thinking your tax debt will just “work itself out.” Suddenly, a certified letter arrives. Your property is in jeopardy. The IRS has the power to place a lien on your home and, if the debt remains unresolved, legally seize and auction the property. Decades of work gone in an instant.
What Leads to Seizure?
The process usually begins with ignored IRS notices, unpaid taxes piling up, and eventually the dreaded Notice of Seizure. It’s not just scare tactics; the IRS seizes hundreds of homes every year. Few things feel worse than being forced to leave your sanctuary, especially when it could have been prevented with the right guidance early on.
Agreement Broken? The Consequences Are Steep
Once you’ve entered into an agreement with the IRS (like an Installment Agreement or Offer in Compromise), failing to follow through is a costly mistake. These are the consequences:
Immediate default reopening the door for property seizure
Additional penalties and daily accruing interest
Possible wage garnishments, levied bank accounts, and even business asset seizures
Ruined credit, public embarrassment, and the devastating loss of your home
Breaking your IRS agreement turns every letter from the IRS into a razor-edged threat. Stress escalates, relationships strain, and your financial future teeters on the edge.
Think you’re in too deep? You’re not alone. Many clients felt that way until Steve Perry, EA took the reins.

Client Story
A client owes the IRS nearly $100,000 but has been ignoring it because of other “priorities”. The dreaded “Intent to Seize” letter arrives. Steve gets the documentation needed and contacts the IRS. They were resistant to look at the entire case. Steve forced the issue, including quoting the Internal Revenue Manual to them and they were forced to look at the entire case. Client was granted Currently Not Collectible Status giving him at least a year or two to get his house in order. Significantly, the Statute of Limitations continues to run. So, if we get to the 10-year mark and the Client still can’t pay, the debt will go away.
