What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can ask about a sale without cleaning out the house, fixing fire damage, or hauling away debris first.
Tell us what happened and what parts of the property can be safely accessed. If officials have restricted entry or work, follow their directions for that property.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- Tell us about the fire damage, safe access, and your timing.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Huntsville safety, permits, and county offices
If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted entry, stay out and follow directions for that address. Before cleanup, demolition, or repairs, ask Huntsville Building & Construction which permits or inspections apply to the specific work.
- Huntsville Building & Construction → for local building and construction information. The City's building permit information → is a starting point; confirm requirements for the address and work.
- Huntsville Code Enforcement → for City unsafe-building or code notices. Ask the City about the actual notice and any deadline.
- For properties in a locally designated historic district, exterior changes may need Historic Preservation Commission review before a building permit may issue. Confirm the address and proposed work with the City using its historic-preservation application information →
Property-tax offices
Huntsville city limits cross four counties. Use the City GIS resources → and city-limits map → to orient yourself, then verify the parcel's county before requesting a tax record. A city name or postal address alone does not identify the parcel's county. The Alabama Department of Revenue directory was checked October 6, 2026; confirm current details in its county-office directory →.
- Madison County: Tax Assessor, 256-532-3350; Tax Collector, 256-532-3370. 1918 N. Memorial Parkway, 2nd floor, Huntsville, AL 35801.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair and debris-removal estimates, any permits the City says apply, and the time and carrying costs of rebuilding beside the written sale terms. Confirm how the insurance claim and mortgage requirements apply to your own situation with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
The Huntsville home-sale calculator can compare estimated listing proceeds with what you might net using your assumptions. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer; compare it with the repair estimates and written terms for your house.
