Lubbock, TXCode violations · Lubbock County
Can you sell a house with code violations in Lubbock, TX?
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.
Usually, yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Lubbock, Texas and Lubbock County, including houses with code violations. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You receive written offer terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company. Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the house and notice.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

What we buy
We buy Lubbock houses with code violations, notices, or serious repair needs as-is. You do not have to take on repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout to sell to us. That lets you compare a direct sale without first doing the work for our purchase.
Tell us what the notice says and what condition the house is in. Existing orders and obligations still need attention; the as-is sale does not erase them.
What can affect closing in Texas?
Usually, you can sell a Texas house with code violations, but open notices, orders, bills, and liens still have to be dealt with. A sale does not automatically end an order or court case. For a substandard building, Texas law allows a city to order repair or removal under the procedures in Texas Local Government Code §214.001. If authorized city work is done and the cost remains unpaid, the city can file a lien with the county clerk. The lien stays with the property until paid, so it may need to be paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The notice, any filed lien, and the property-specific record matter; share the notice with the title company so it can check what remains open.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, deadline, or seller obligation before closing.

Usually, yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Lubbock and Lubbock County, including houses with code notices or repair problems. An open notice, order, bill, lien, or court case may still affect what must be addressed for a particular closing.
Does selling make an open code order or court case go away?
