We Buy Houses with Code Violations in Louisville & Kentucky
In Louisville Metro, code enforcement starts with a Notice of Violation giving you 7 to 21 days to correct the issue. If you can't — or the repairs cost more than the house is worth — fines accumulate and the case moves to the Code Enforcement Board or Municipal Court.
Traditional buyers won't touch a property with open violations. We will. We buy houses with code violations as-is, for cash.

How Louisville Code Enforcement Works
Louisville Metro follows a progressive enforcement process:
- Notice of Violation: You receive written notice with 7–21 days to correct the issue.
- Compliance Inspection: An inspector returns to verify corrections were made.
- Code Enforcement Board: If unresolved, your case goes before the board, which meets every Friday.
- Escalation: Civil citations, administrative abatement, or criminal complaints through Municipal Court.
Every day you wait, fines may be growing. Selling to us stops the cycle.
Why Sell to Us?
- Buy As-Is: We take the property with all violations — you don't fix anything.
- Handle Liens: Municipal liens and back taxes can be paid off at closing from the sale proceeds.
- Stop Fines: The faster we close, the sooner daily fines stop accumulating.
- Cash Offers: No financing contingencies, no appraisal issues, no deals falling through.
- Louisville Experience: We've navigated Louisville Metro's code enforcement process many times and know how to close quickly.
What About Properties with Liens?
Municipal liens, tax liens, and judgment liens can all be addressed at closing. The title company handles payoffs from the sale proceeds. In many Kentucky cases, you can walk away clean — no outstanding debts on the property.
