Selling a House with Code Violations in Florida (Full Guide)

What Are Code Violations (and Why They Matter When Selling)?

In Florida, code violations can quietly stack up — and suddenly become a serious problem when it’s time to sell your home.

These violations are typically issued by the county or city when a property doesn’t meet certain local building, safety, or maintenance rules. Common examples include:

  • Overgrown grass or unmaintained landscaping
  • Broken windows, damaged roof, or peeling paint
  • Unpermitted structures (sheds, additions, etc.)
  • Junk, debris, or abandoned vehicles on the property
  • Unsafe wiring, plumbing, or interior hazards

Why it matters: If these violations aren’t resolved, the county can fine you daily — and even place a lien on your home that must be paid before it’s sold.

Can You Sell a House with Code Violations in Florida?

Yes — even if your home has active code violations, open permits, or city fines, you can still legally sell it in Florida.

But here’s the catch: most buyers and realtors will walk away when they see a violation or lien. Traditional buyers usually want move-in ready homes — not red flags.

That’s where The Alpha Order steps in.

We specialize in buying distressed properties across Florida — including houses with:

  • Open code enforcement cases
  • Daily fines or property liens
  • Unsafe or unpermitted construction
  • City demolition threats

We pay cash. We cover closing costs. And we take the stress off your plate — no repairs or inspections needed.

What Happens If You Ignore Code Violations?

In Florida, code violations don’t just sit there quietly. If left unresolved, they can spiral into costly legal and financial consequences.

Here’s what usually happens when violations are ignored:

  • Daily fines: Counties charge $50–$500+ per day, per violation
  • Liens: The unpaid fines become legal debt tied to the home
  • Blocked sale: You can’t sell or refinance until the liens are cleared
  • Demolition risk: For severe violations, the city can condemn and demolish the home

The longer you wait, the more it costs. And most homeowners don’t even realize how fast it stacks up — until it’s too late.
