Sell Your Code Violations House Fast in Florida

In Florida, open code violations do not automatically disappear when a property changes hands — under Florida Statute §162.09, code enforcement liens attach to the property itself, meaning an unpermitted addition or unresolved citation can follow the title to the new owner if not cleared before closing. Florida's Code Enforcement Boards and Special Magistrates (established under Chapter 162, F.S.) have authority to impose fines that accrue daily, sometimes reaching tens of thousands of dollars before a homeowner even realizes the exposure. Unpermitted work is particularly problematic because Florida's Building Code (Florida Statute §553) requires permits for most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, and municipalities can require demolition or full remediation of non-compliant construction regardless of when it was done. If a property has been declared condemned or unsafe by a local building official, that status is typically recorded and must be disclosed, and in some cases the city may initiate abatement — completing repairs or demolition themselves and then placing a lien on the property that must be satisfied before or at closing.
