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

What can affect closing
Kentucky cities and counties can enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance, secure it against entry, or demolish part or all of a structure. Fines, fees, and abatement costs become a lien on the property when recorded with the county clerk. The lien can last ten years, and Kentucky law also makes the owner personally responsible for the amount. A city may add unpaid code liens to the property-tax bill and collect them like unpaid taxes.
