We Buy Homes with Code Violations for Cash
Code violations turn a house into a moving target: fines can accrue daily, open permits block a clean title, and unpermitted work has to be resolved before most buyers can close. We buy Florida homes with code violations for cash and take those problems on ourselves.
Open permits, accumulated fines, unpermitted additions, and municipal liens tied to violations are all things we deal with regularly. You do not have to bring the house into compliance before you sell.
Why homes with code violations can be hard to sell the traditional way
Fines accrue daily
Many code fines compound every day the violation goes unresolved.
Open permits block closing
Unclosed permits cloud title and stop a conventional sale from closing.
Unpermitted work
Additions or repairs done without permits must be legalized or removed.
Municipal liens
Violations can become recorded liens that must be cleared to transfer title.
How we make it simple
Violations become ours
We resolve the citations and permits after closing.
Stop the daily fines
Your accruals end the day we close.
Unpermitted work OK
Unpermitted additions do not stop our purchase.
Liens coordinated
Recorded violation liens are handled at closing.
Why code violations stall a traditional sale
Code enforcement issues create problems a normal buyer cannot easily absorb. Open permits and recorded violation liens cloud the title, so a title company cannot deliver clean ownership until they are resolved, and financed buyers’ lenders will not close on a non-compliant property.
Because we buy for cash and take on the compliance work ourselves, none of that blocks the sale. We factor the known issues into the offer and inherit the responsibility for clearing them.
Unpermitted work and accumulating fines
Unpermitted additions, enclosed garages, and DIY work are common in older Florida homes, and they surface at the worst possible time — during a sale — when the municipality demands they be permitted retroactively or torn out. Meanwhile, active violations may be adding fines every single day.
We handle both. We deal with the unpermitted work after closing and, by buying quickly, put an end to the daily fine accruals that make holding the property so costly.
How selling a home with code violations works
- 1
Tell us what the property is facing — the violations, any open permits, and outstanding fines you know about. We research the municipal record and factor it into a cash offer.

We take on resolving the violations and permits after closing, coordinating any lien payoffs with the title company, so you stop worrying about the daily fines the moment we close.
Homes with Code Violations: your questions answered
Straight answers about selling this type of property for cash.
Yes. Open and expired permits are common on the homes we buy. We take on closing them out after we purchase the property.
It is. Unpermitted work does not stop our cash purchase — resolving it becomes our responsibility after closing.
Selling to us ends your exposure at closing. We take over the violations, and any recorded liens are coordinated for payoff through the title company.
No. That is the advantage — you sell as-is and hand the compliance work to us.
