Open permits, code violations, fines piling up? We buy properties with active violations, handle compliance, and close fast before penalties escalate.
No obligation. No fees. Response in 24 hours.
A single code violation can turn your house into a property that no traditional buyer, agent, or lender will touch. In South Florida, where code enforcement is aggressive and fines compound daily, violations don't just affect your property value — they can result in liens that exceed the home's worth.
Florida municipalities — especially in Broward and Miami-Dade counties — have some of the most active code enforcement departments in the country. Here's how a small issue becomes a big problem:
Code violations create a catch-22 that makes traditional sales virtually impossible:
This is exactly where Home Rescue Team excels. We buy houses with active violations, negotiate fines with municipalities, complete the remediation, and handle all the compliance paperwork. We've done it hundreds of times across Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
A simple, proven process designed around your situation.
Tell us what violations exist, how long they've been open, and any fines that have accumulated. We'll research the property's code enforcement history within hours.
We pull all open cases, fines, liens, and permits from the municipality. This gives us — and you — a complete picture of what needs to be resolved.
Our offer factors in the cost of resolving violations, negotiating fines, and completing any required work. You don't pay for any of it — we do.
After closing, we file permits, complete repairs, attend hearings, negotiate fine reductions, and bring the property into full compliance. Your name comes off the violation.
David had converted his garage into a rental unit 6 years ago without permits. When code enforcement discovered it, they issued violations for the unpermitted construction, electrical work without permits, and insufficient setbacks. David ignored the notices, and fines accumulated to $87,000 over 18 months.
Two agents refused to list the property. David couldn't afford the $45,000 a contractor quoted to either demolish the addition or bring it up to code. Meanwhile, fines were growing by $250/day.
Home Rescue Team purchased the property for $275,000 cash. After closing, we negotiated the $87,000 in fines down to $8,500 (a 90% reduction — common when the new owner demonstrates intent to remediate), then completed the permitted work to bring the addition into compliance. David walked away with his equity intact and zero liability for the violations.
We specialize in situations other buyers won't touch.
Unpermitted work, structural violations, fire code issues, zoning violations, overgrown lots — we handle them all. No violation is too severe.
Municipalities routinely reduce fines 70-95% when the new owner demonstrates commitment to remediation. We know the process and have relationships with code enforcement departments across South Florida.
After closing, we file permits, hire licensed contractors, schedule inspections, and attend hearings. You have zero responsibility for bringing the property into compliance.
Every day you wait, fines grow by $100-$500. Selling to us stops the clock. Our fast closing means less accumulated fines and more equity preserved.
Open or expired permits from past renovations? We close them out properly after purchase, resolving what could otherwise block any future sale.
Our title team works with municipalities to obtain lien payoff letters and compliance clearances, making the sale possible when traditional title companies refuse.
