Sell a House With Code Violations for Cash

Open code citations, unpermitted work or daily fines piling up? We buy houses with code violations as is and handle the fixes after closing.

Can You Sell a House With Code Violations?

Yes. A code violation notice can make a house feel impossible to sell, especially when fines are added every day the problem isn’t fixed. But open violations don’t stop a sale.

You’ll usually need to disclose the violations, and they affect who can buy. Many mortgage buyers can’t close on a house with serious safety violations, and a city lien has to be resolved at closing.

75 Fast Offer buys houses with open violations, unpermitted work and liens for cash, and handles the fixes after closing.

What Happens to Fines and Liens?

Code enforcement fines that have become liens are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing, the same way a mortgage is paid off.

Some cities will reduce fines once the violation is fixed, or once a new owner commits to fixing it. Before you sell, get a list of open cases and the payoff amount from your city or county code enforcement office. We can help you track this down, and we account for it in our offer.

Fixing a small violation can make sense. Bigger problems, especially unpermitted work that has to be opened up and inspected, often cost more and take longer than expected.

Our Happy Customers

Adam

I recently sold 75 Fast Offer two rental properties that I have owned for 14 years. Robert made the entire process very simple and easy. I basically did nothing. They offered a very fair price and within three weeks, the transaction was completed. Very professional to work with. I highly recommend 75 Fast Offer!

Chris

Great company that operates with honesty and transparency. Highly recommended for anyone that is looking for a quick and easy solution for their property problem.

Mario

It was a very pleasant experience working with 75 Fast Offer. Vernon and Angelot were especially helpful through the process of selling my home. I can't imagine selling a home being any easier. I would highly recommend 75 Fast Offer.

Jordan

When it came time to sell my family home I called and talked to Dalen and he came out and took a look and they made me an offer within 48 hrs. Working with them was the easiest thing i have done... From the offer to the closing took right at 30 days but that is only because I requested that long... I would recommend anyone wanting to sell a home to at least call them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell a house with code violations?

Yes. Disclose the violations and sell as is, usually to a cash buyer. Any city liens are normally paid from the sale proceeds at closing.

Do code violations transfer to the new owner?

The violations stay with the property, so the new owner becomes responsible for fixing them. Unpaid fines that became liens are usually paid at closing.

Can a buyer get a mortgage on a house with violations?

Sometimes, but serious safety or structural problems often stop a mortgage from closing. Cash buyers don’t have that limit.

Will the city reduce my fines?

Some cities will reduce or settle fines once the problem is fixed. Ask your code enforcement office.

Do you buy condemned houses?

Yes. We buy houses in any condition, including condemned and boarded-up houses.
