Clare, MICode violations

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.

What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can tell us what the notice says, what work it lists, and whether it includes a deadline. You do not have to start repairs, clean, or clear out the house before selling to us. The specific notice, order, or lien can still affect what needs attention before closing.
What can affect closing
Michigan's dangerous-building law allows a local government, after the required notice and hearing, to order a dangerous building demolished, made safe, or maintained. If the owner does not comply, the municipality may pursue the work and repayment. Unpaid costs can become a property lien only after the required notice and recording steps. Read MCL 125.540–125.541 for the state process and lien conditions. Local sale requirements can differ, so ask the office named on your notice whether an inspection, occupancy certificate, or compliance arrangement applies to your address.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, deadline, or seller obligation before closing.
What happens next
- Share the Clare property address, its condition, and what the notice or order says.
- We talk through the house and notice, including any deadline you know about.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Local help with a Clare code notice
Start with the local government named on the notice. For a property within Clare city limits, the City of Clare lists City Hall at 202 W. Fifth Street. The City cautions that its maps are not for legal use, so confirm the parcel's jurisdiction with the relevant office rather than relying on a local-area name. Clare County separately lists its cities, village, and townships as local governments.
For building-permit and inspection questions, contact Clare County Community Development. The County identifies that office as handling permits and inspections referenced by the City for Clare.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Compare your own assumptions with the Clare home-sale net proceeds calculator.
