Can You Sell a House With Code Violations in Santa Fe, NM?
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 Santa Fe and Santa Fe County with code notices, violations, and repair needs. You do not have to take on the repair work or clean out the house before asking about a sale. You can share what the notice says so we can review the house and its condition with you.
What can affect closing
New Mexico law lets a municipality order a dangerous building removed and place the reasonable removal cost on the property as a lien. Open violations do not disappear just because the owner changes. If a municipality has declared a building dangerous, an existing removal order, case, or lien may affect the sale. See NMSA § 3-18-5.
Tell us about notices or court orders early so the closing can account for them. An existing order, case, or seller obligation is not erased before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
City and Census boundary comparisons identify Santa Fe County at the city level. That is geographic orientation, not a parcel-specific county or venue determination. Check the exact address and the office named on the notice before assuming which local government handles the property.
