Virginia's statewide building code lets localities inspect existing buildings and require violations to be corrected. For an unsafe building, a code official can order repairs or demolition, authorize emergency repairs when there is imminent danger, and demolish a building if the owner ignores a demolition order. See Virginia Code § 36-105 and the Virginia Maintenance Code sections on inspections, notices and orders and unsafe structures.
Virginia also lets a locality adopt an ordinance requiring the owner to remove, repair, or secure a building that endangers public health or safety. Usually, the locality can do the work after at least 30 days' notice; serious hazards or emergencies can have shorter timelines. The cost is charged to the owner, and if unpaid it becomes a lien that ranks with unpaid local real estate taxes. See Virginia Code § 15.2-906.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An as-is agreement does not erase an existing order, lien, or local requirement, or stop a statutory deadline. Share the notice and any order so the buyer and title company can review what still needs to be addressed before closing.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
For a property in Staunton city, contact the City of Staunton office named on the notice to ask whether it is still open, what deadline applies, and whether an inspection or permit step remains. Use the City of Staunton official website to find city department information. Staunton is an independent city; Augusta County is a separate jurisdiction, so its offices are not a substitute for the city contact on a Staunton notice.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
