Can I sell a house with code violations?

Yes. We routinely buy properties as-is. Title/escrow will handle any recorded fines/liens at closing.

Do fines stop once I sell?

Recorded fines/liens are typically paid from proceeds at closing. Unrecorded issues may still need to be addressed—your city will advise.

Do you need utilities on for inspections?

Not for a cash purchase. For listings, utility status depends on buyer/lender requirements.

How Code Enforcement Works

Notices & deadlines

Cities issue violation letters with cure dates; fines may accrue daily after deadlines.

Repairs & inspections

Some items are costly or require permits. We’ll buy as-is or help plan strategic fixes for listing.

We don’t provide legal advice—please consult your city/code office or attorney. We’ll coordinate with them.
