Property Issues
Code Violation
A city or county finding that a property breaks building, safety, or maintenance rules.
Tax-delinquent properties often have open code cases, fines, or demolition orders. Some code liens survive a tax sale and pass to the buyer.
Check with the local code enforcement office before bidding; fines can exceed the property's value.
