What we buy
We can buy a Joplin house with code violations as-is. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us. That gives you a direct option without taking on repair work just to make the house ready for our purchase.
The notice still matters. Tell us what the city or county sent and any deadlines or related papers so we can discuss the property and written terms.
What can affect closing in Missouri
Missouri law lets cities, towns, villages, and first-class or charter counties adopt dangerous-building ordinances. Depending on the local rule, a building may have to be vacated, repaired or demolished. The notice and hearing steps depend on that ordinance; state law has separate provisions for some larger cities. Read RSMo § 67.400 on dangerous-building ordinances and RSMo § 67.410 on notice, hearings and liens.
If required work is not done, the local government may arrange it. The cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply. An as-is agreement does not erase open orders or tax bills.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not cancel an existing order, court case, deadline or your obligations before closing, and a resulting bill or lien can still affect the sale. Send us the notice and related papers so we can talk through what needs to be checked.
