Can you sell a house with code violations in Farmington, MO?

You can ask us to review the house before you make repairs or clean it out. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

That does not make an existing order, deadline, bill, or lien disappear. Tell us what the notice requires and when the next date is, so those details can be considered with the sale.

Missouri law allows cities, towns, villages, and certain counties to adopt ordinances for dangerous buildings. Depending on the local ordinance and notice, the owner may be required to vacate, repair, or demolish a building. The notice and hearing process depends on the locality. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply.

If required work is not completed, local government may arrange it. The cost can be placed on a special tax bill and become a property lien; a contractor may also have a lien. The exact order, deadline, amount, and closing requirements depend on the property and its notice. An as-is sale agreement does not erase them.

When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Start with a conversation about the house and the notice. Tell us the address, what work is listed, any hearing or compliance date, who lives there, and what you know about access. You do not need to have the repair plan figured out before you call.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The notice, title work, and any amounts due can affect what must be resolved before closing.

The office named on your notice can confirm which order and deadline apply to the property. The City of Farmington's official website is a starting point for city information; use the contact listed on the notice for property-specific requirements.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. A code-related special tax bill or lien is a separate property issue that may affect settlement.
