What we buy: the house with its violations
We can review a house with a code notice, repair order, serious disrepair, or unfinished work. You do not have to make the house listing-ready or complete repairs before asking us about a sale.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
An as-is sale changes who takes on repairs after closing; it does not make an existing order or deadline disappear before then.
What can affect closing in Michigan
Michigan’s dangerous-building law allows a municipality, through the required notice and process, to order a building demolished, made safe, or maintained. If the owner does not comply, the municipality may do the work and seek repayment. Unpaid costs can become a property lien after the required notice and recording steps. See Michigan Compiled Laws §§ 125.540–125.541.
An as-is agreement does not cancel an existing order, court case, lien, or deadline. Share the notice and any follow-up paperwork so the requirements for this property can be reviewed before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order, case, or obligation that applies before closing.
What happens next

Local zoning, permit, and notice contacts
For an open order or deadline, start with the office named on the notice and ask it to confirm the status and what applies to this address. Antrim County says zoning is administered by local units, not through a county-wide zoning ordinance; the Village lists its Clerk as Zoning Administrator.
- Village of Bellaire offices — contact the Village Clerk / Zoning Administrator about Village zoning questions. The Village lists its shared office line as 231-533-8213.
- Antrim County Zoning information — explains the County’s local-unit zoning structure.
- Antrim County Construction Code Department / Building Inspector — permit and record information for building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. The County lists 231-533-8373. These contacts do not establish whether a particular sale needs an inspection or certificate; ask the office handling the notice about your property.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Bellaire code-violation questions
Can I sell a Bellaire house with open code violations?
Yes, a sale may be possible. USA Home Buyers buys houses in the Village of Bellaire and Antrim County, Michigan. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. The actual notice, orders, liens, deadlines, and local requirements can affect what must be resolved before closing.
Does an as-is sale erase a code order, case, lien, or deadline?
No. An as-is agreement does not automatically erase an existing order, court case, lien, or deadline. Share the notice and any other paperwork with us and the closing professional so the specific requirements can be reviewed.
Do I need an inspection or permit before selling?
The notice and the property matter. Ask the office named on the notice whether an inspection, permit, or certificate applies to your address. Antrim County’s Building Inspector page covers construction-code permits and records; it is not a decision about a particular sale.
