Can you sell a house with code violations in Arnold, MO?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Yes. We buy Arnold houses with open code violations. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy houses with open notices, repair needs, or unsafe conditions. You can tell us what is happening with the house and the notice, and we'll talk it through with you.
What can affect closing
Missouri lets cities, towns, villages, and first-class or charter counties adopt ordinances requiring a dangerous building to be repaired, vacated, or demolished. If the required work is not done, the local government may arrange it; the cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, and a contractor may also have a lien. Read RSMo § 67.400 and § 67.410.
If your house is inside Arnold city limits, the City requires an existing-structure inspection when a house sells. A new resident or tenant also needs an occupancy permit.

What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
