Got a Code Violation Notice? Here’s How to Sell As-Is

A code violation notice — whether it’s for a structural issue, an unsecured vacant property, an overgrown lot, or something flagged during an inspection — puts you on a clock most homeowners weren’t expecting. Cities across Texas generally give you a window to correct the issue before penalties escalate, and those penalties can compound quickly if the property sits untouched. The exact process and timeline vary by city, so your local code compliance department is the best source for where you specifically stand.

Where a Direct Sale Fits In

You don’t have to bring the property up to code before selling it. A direct sale means the violation becomes our problem to resolve after closing, not a repair bill you have to pay before you’re allowed to sell.
