Can You Sell a House with Code Violations in O'Fallon, MO?
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.
Yes. You can sell a house with code violations. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy O'Fallon houses with open code notices, repair needs, or unsafe conditions. Tell us what happened with the house and what the notice says; we'll talk it through with you.
What can affect closing
Missouri lets cities, towns, and villages—and first-class or charter counties—adopt dangerous-building ordinances. A local ordinance can require a dangerous building to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. If required work is not done, the local government may arrange it, and the cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. The notice and hearing steps depend on the local ordinance. See RSMo §67.400 and §67.410.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Costs and questions
Missouri bars state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus other per-document fees set by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. See the Missouri Constitution, article X, section 25, and Missouri's deed-recording fee law, recorder user fee law, and additional recording fee law.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
