What we buy
Sell the house with its violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish the repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us. Tell us what you know about the notice and the property so we can talk through the house as it stands.
Idaho rules
What can affect closing
An open notice does not automatically stop a sale, but an open order or charge can affect closing. For a city-issued nuisance, Idaho law lets a city remove it and charge the responsible party for the work. A city may also assess that cost against the property under Idaho Code § 50-334.
If that assessment is unpaid 30 days after the notice is mailed, the city may certify it to the county tax collector, where it is collected with city taxes. That step is described in Idaho Code § 50-1008. It is a possible collection process, not an automatic charge for every code notice.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not automatically clear an existing order, assessment, or deadline that applies before closing. Send us any city notices or orders so the title company can check what remains open.

Local help
Check which local office issued the notice
City and county jurisdiction can differ for a specific address. The City of Twin Falls' planning materials treat the incorporated city and its area of impact as separate references; a Twin Falls mailing address alone does not establish which applies. For a City notice, start with the City of Twin Falls official site to find the right contact and ask what orders or charges remain open. For another jurisdiction, contact the office named on the notice.

Questions about selling with code violations
Can I sell a Twin Falls house with code violations?
Often, yes. Open orders or charges can affect closing. A city may remove a nuisance, charge the responsible party, and assess the cost against the property; send us any city notices or orders so the title company can check what remains open.
Do I have to repair the house before selling to USA Home Buyers?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, assessment, or deadline is not automatically erased.
Will selling make an existing city order or assessment go away?
No, not automatically. An open order, assessment, or deadline may still need to be addressed. Share the notice or order so the title company can check what remains open.
