What can affect closing in Indiana?
Where Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law applies, an owner can transfer a property with an unsafe-building order, but a recorded order stays with the property and the buyer takes it on. The law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it; it does not apply everywhere.
If the law applies to your order and you have not complied with it, you must give the buyer full information about the order before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer’s name, address, and phone number, plus the transfer document.
Bring the notice and any court papers to the title professional early so the applicable requirements and any court restrictions can be checked. For the current status of a specific notice, contact the enforcement office identified on it.
Read the official Indiana Code provisions on where the Unsafe Building Law applies and the Indiana Code transfer requirements for unsafe-building orders.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, deadline, or seller obligation before closing still needs to be addressed.
