Pontiac, MICode violations
Can I sell a house with code violations in Pontiac, MI?
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
We buy houses in Pontiac with code notices, dangerous-building concerns, or serious disrepair as-is. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing. Keep the notice and any dates in view while you decide what to do.
What can affect closing in Michigan?
The actual notice matters. In a dangerous-building proceeding, Michigan law allows a municipality to order a building demolished, made safe, or maintained after required notice and hearing steps. If the owner does not comply, the municipality may pursue the work and reimbursement. Unpaid costs can become a property lien only after the required notice and recording steps.
Read the deadlines and instructions on the notice, and ask the City what remains open for the property. An as-is sale does not cancel an existing order, court case, or obligation before closing. The Michigan dangerous-buildings law (MCL 125.540–125.541) describes the notice, hearing, orders, enforcement, and cost process.

What happens next
Tell us the Pontiac address, the house condition, what the notice says, and any dates you are watching. We can talk through the situation before you make repairs. We give a written cash offer within 24 hours.
You can review the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company. Share the notice and related paperwork so the closing professionals can account for the property-specific details; a sale does not automatically close a City or court matter.
Pontiac code and permit help
The City of Pontiac Building Safety Division is the municipal contact for local permit, property-maintenance, and inspection records, along with rental and vacant-property forms. Use the City of Pontiac Building Safety Division page to ask which records or requirements apply to the property address and whether a notice or inspection remains open.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Compare the numbers and repair assumptions with the Pontiac home-sale net proceeds calculator. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
