Hattiesburg, MS seller help / Code violations
Can you sell a house with code violations in Hattiesburg, MS?

What we buy
A house with violations, as-is
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 while a code notice is still open; we consider its condition and the notice as part of the sale conversation.
You do not have to finish repairs or clear out the house before asking us about a sale. The notice still matters for closing, so we discuss what it says rather than treating it as gone.
What can affect closing
The notice and local order still count
Mississippi law gives municipalities authority to address nuisances. The actual municipality’s notice or order and current local code determine deadlines, repairs, fines, and any lien or occupancy consequences. A change of owner does not by itself close an open code-enforcement case or release a recorded lien.
We can review the notice and available title information with you so the issuing authority can confirm what remains open. An existing case, lien, or deadline does not automatically go away when ownership changes.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Local help
Hattiesburg city contacts
The City of Hattiesburg’s short-term-rentals page lists Planning Division and Code Enforcement contacts. Its permit and inspection details are for short-term rentals; for another kind of code case, the notice or order identifies the issuing authority and what applies.
Costs and questions
Compare what you might keep
The Hattiesburg Home Sale Net Proceeds Calculator compares what you might keep from listing with an as-is cash sale. You can adjust repairs, cleanout, monthly bills, and closing costs for the house. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Hattiesburg code-violation questions
Can I sell a Hattiesburg house with code violations?
Yes. We buy Hattiesburg houses with code violations, but the notice or order and any recorded lien still matter. A change of owner does not by itself close an open code-enforcement case or release a recorded lien.
