Selling a House With Code Violations in Plymouth, IN
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.

What we buy with the violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An as-is sale does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing. Keep any dates on the notice in view while you decide what to do.
What can affect closing in Indiana
Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Where the law applies, if you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information about the order before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. A recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on.
Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer’s name, address, and phone number, along with a copy of the transfer document. Bring the notice to the closing professional early so the law’s requirements and any court restrictions can be checked for your situation. See Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and 36-7-9-3 for where the law applies, and §§ 36-7-9-26 and 36-7-9-27 for the transfer requirements.
When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not automatically erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What happens next
- Tell us the Plymouth address, the house’s condition, and what the notice says. Include any dates, later letters, or court papers you know about.
- We talk through the house, the notice, and your situation. We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You see the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, closing is through a title company. Any open order, court case, or required notice still needs to be addressed for the property.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the house; you do not need to repair it before calling.

Plymouth code-violation questions
Can I sell a Plymouth house with an unsafe-building order?
Yes. You can sell an Indiana house with an unsafe-building order, but a recorded order stays with the property and the buyer takes it on. Where Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law applies, an owner who received an order and has not complied must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. An existing order or court restriction can still affect closing.
Does Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law apply to every Plymouth property?
The law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Ask the enforcement authority named on your notice whether it applies to your property and what steps remain.
Do I have to repair the house before asking you about an offer?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job. This does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What should I share about a code notice?
Tell us the Plymouth address and what you know about the house. The notice, any dates, later letters, and court papers are useful to discuss. Bring the notice to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked.
Who pays closing costs when I sell to USA Home Buyers?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
