What we buy
We buy houses with code violations, repair lists, or unsafe conditions as they stand. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can talk with us about the house before arranging the work or cleanout for a listing.
We review the property and the notice with you, so you can compare a written offer with the work and cost you expect if you take another sale path. The actual notice and any recorded lien still matter to the closing.
What can affect closing?
Often, yes, you can sell a Louisiana house with code violations, but an open order or lien still needs to be dealt with. Louisiana law allows a parish or city, after the required notice and hearing, to order an unsafe building repaired or demolished. A condemnation notice recorded in the mortgage records can bind the next owner. If the government does demolition or maintenance work, the costs can become a lien and you can remain personally liable. Selling does not erase the charges or orders.
The state rules are in Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:4762, on notice, hearing, and effect on a later owner, 33:4763, on repair or demolition orders, and 33:4766, on demolition or maintenance costs and liens. Keep the notice and share it with the closing attorney so the open requirements can be reviewed for the property.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order or liability before closing. Check the notice for its issuing office, deadline, and instructions; do not assume a sale has cancelled any open requirement.
What happens next
Talk about the house and notice
Share the address, condition, and what the city or parish sent you. We will talk through the house and the papers you have.
Review a written offer
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Read the written terms before you commit.
Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing follows the written terms and title-company process. The notice and any open order or lien still need review.
Local contacts and records
Shreveport extends into Caddo and Bossier Parishes, so check the property address and the office named on the notice. The City of Shreveport official website is the city-government starting point. Ask the issuing office what remains for the property and whether an inspection, repair, or deadline is still open.
Louisiana law says a condemnation notice recorded in mortgage records can affect the next owner. The official parish records starting points are the Caddo Parish Clerk of Court and the Bossier Parish Clerk of Court. Confirm which parish applies to the address; these records offices are separate from the city or parish office that issued a code notice.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Often, yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Shreveport, Caddo Parish, and Bossier Parish, Louisiana. An open order or lien still needs to be dealt with, and a sale does not erase it.
Will selling clear a condemnation notice, order, or lien?
No. A condemnation notice recorded in the mortgage records can bind the next owner. If the government demolishes or maintains a property, its costs can become a lien and the owner can remain personally liable. Selling does not erase those charges or orders.
