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.

We buy the house with its violations
Tell us about the house as it stands, including the code notice and any work it calls for. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us.
We look at the notice with you so the open requirements, charges, and deadlines can be considered before closing. The sale itself does not close a code case or remove an existing order.
What can affect closing in Nebraska?
Nebraska law lets cities and villages define nuisances in local ordinances and remove them. For an unsafe building that is a public nuisance, a city can give the owner notice to repair, rehabilitate, or tear it down. If the owner does not follow the notice, the city can do the work and charge the cost to the property as a special-assessment lien, or sue the owner to collect it.
Selling does not make an existing lien go away, and it does not automatically cancel an open order or deadline. Each city’s code sets its own deadlines, fines, and appeal steps, so check the current notice and ask the city that issued it what is still open.
When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Questions about selling a Lincoln house with code violations
Can I sell a Lincoln house with code violations?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Lincoln and Lancaster County, Nebraska, including houses with code violations. An open notice, order, deadline, or lien still needs to be reviewed; selling alone does not erase a lien or automatically cancel an order.
Do I have to repair the house before asking about a sale?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Can selling the house remove an open code order or lien?
No. A sale does not by itself cancel an open order or deadline, and a special-assessment lien does not disappear just because the house sells. Check the current notice and the property-specific requirements with the city and closing provider.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
