What can affect closing in Kentucky
Kentucky lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance property, secure it against entry, or demolish part or all of a structure under KRS 65.8840.
Fines, fees, and abatement costs become a lien on the property when recorded with the county clerk. Under KRS 65.8835, the lien can last ten years, ranks ahead of most other liens except state, county, school-board, and city taxes, and leaves the owner personally responsible for the amount. A city may also add an unpaid code lien to the property-tax bill and collect it like unpaid taxes under KRS 65.8834.
Have a notice, order, or court paper? We can talk through what it says and how it may affect a sale.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
