Hartford building safety and permits
Follow the fire department's or building official's directions for the property, and don't enter if access has been restricted. A repair or demolition order does not disappear because you sell as-is; permit requirements depend on the work and the property. The city offices below can answer local safety and permit questions.
For fire-related information, visit the City of Hartford Fire Department. For building and repair permits, use the city's Development Services page.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you're weighing repairs against an as-is sale, compare contractor estimates and the repair scope, any insurance and mortgage requirements, time out of the house, and ongoing carrying costs with the written sale terms. The Hartford calculator can help compare estimated listing proceeds with what you might keep from a direct sale using your own assumptions; it isn't a property-specific offer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items.
