What we buy with code violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can talk with us about the property as it stands instead of doing repair work first. The notice still matters, so tell us what it says and share any open order or deadline.
What can affect closing in Alabama
Usually, you can sell, but an open order or city charge may still need attention. For an unsafe building, Alabama law lets a municipality repair or demolish it after required notices and process, then assess the cost against the property as a lien. A sale does not erase that lien.
Alabama law also gives certain municipalities authority to clear weeds or debris and assess the cost, with required steps that depend on the local law. Check with the City and closing attorney about any open order, assessment, lien, or deadline for the property.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That covers repairs if we buy the house; it does not automatically end an existing order, court case, assessment, lien, or statutory deadline.

Code-violation questions
Can I sell a Florence house with code violations?
Usually, yes. An open order, city charge, assessment, lien, or deadline may still need attention. Share the notice and ask the City and closing attorney how it affects this property.
Do I need to repair the house before selling to USA Home Buyers?
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. An existing city order or deadline does not automatically end because you sell.
Will selling clear a city lien or code case?
No, not automatically. Alabama law can let a city assess the cost of work on an unsafe building against the property as a lien. A sale does not erase that lien, and an existing order, case, assessment, or deadline may need separate attention.
What should I share in the first conversation?
Tell us the Florence address, the house condition, and what the notice says. Any open order, city charge, assessment, court paper, or deadline is useful to discuss.
What happens after I tell you about the house?
We talk through the property and the notice, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
