Tuckahoe, VA · Henrico County · Code violations
Can you sell a house with code violations in Tuckahoe, VA?
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.
Yes. We buy houses in Tuckahoe and Henrico County with open code violations, repair notices, or unsafe conditions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
Tell us what the notice says and what work is unfinished. We’ll talk through the house, the condition, and the notice with you. You don’t need to make repairs or clean out the house before you call.
What can affect closing
Virginia lets localities inspect existing buildings and order code violations corrected. If a code official declares a building unsafe, the official can order repairs or demolition. Emergency repairs may be authorized when there is imminent danger, and an official may demolish a building if the owner ignores a demolition order. Virginia Code § 36-105 — unsafe buildings; 13VAC5-63-480 — inspections; 13VAC5-63-485 — orders; 13VAC5-63-490 — unsafe structures.
A locality can also adopt an ordinance requiring owners to remove, repair, or secure buildings that endanger public health or safety. It can usually arrange the work after at least 30 days’ notice; serious hazards and emergencies can have shorter timelines. The cost is charged to the owner and, if unpaid, becomes a lien that ranks with unpaid local real-estate taxes. Virginia Code § 15.2-906 — local repair and removal orders.
An as-is sale doesn’t erase an existing order or lien, and a statutory deadline still applies. Tell us what the notice says and we’ll go through the dates with you.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
