What we buy
We review houses in Mobile and Mobile County with code notices, unsafe-building concerns, or repairs still needed. You can ask us to look at the house as it stands; you do not have to finish repairs, clean, or clear it out before selling to us. Share what you know about the notice so we can discuss the property and what may affect closing.
What can affect closing
Alabama law allows a municipality to act against an unsafe building after required notice and process. The law provides steps for notice, a hearing, and appeal. If the municipality repairs or demolishes the building, it can assess its costs against the property as a lien. Selling the house does not erase that lien. See Ala. Code § 11-53B-2, § 11-53B-4, and § 11-53B-5.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not automatically clear an existing order, assessment, or deadline before closing. Check with the City and the closing attorney about any open order, assessment, or deadline for the property.

Questions about selling with code violations
Can I sell a Mobile house with open code violations?
Usually, yes, but open orders and city charges still need to be resolved. Alabama municipalities can repair or demolish an unsafe building after the required notices and process, then assess the cost against the property as a lien. A sale does not erase that lien.
Does an as-is sale clear an order, assessment, or lien?
No. An as-is sale does not automatically clear an open order, assessment, or deadline, and a sale does not erase a lien assessed against the property. Check the notice and current status with the City and the closing attorney.
Do I have to repair or clean out the house before asking us about it?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Existing orders, assessments, and deadlines still need to be addressed before closing.
Who can answer City of Mobile permit, inspection, or code-case questions?
Build Mobile Inspections is the City contact for permitting and inspections and can help route City code-case questions. Ask the City about the status and next step for the specific property.
