If your property has an active Order to Repair, you’re already past the warning stage.
Deadlines are set, enforcement is documented, and penalties may already be accruing.

The good news?
You can still sell the property — even with open violations, missed deadlines, or pending fines.

We help Texas property owners sell houses as-is, with active code enforcement orders, so they can avoid further penalties and regain control before the city escalates enforcement.

Can You Sell a House With an Order to Repair in Texas?

Yes — Texas law allows you to sell a property with an active Order to Repair.

However, most traditional buyers won’t touch properties that have:

• Open municipal violations
• Compliance deadlines
• City liens or pending fines
• Condemnation risk

That’s why owners in this situation often need a specialized buyer who understands:

• Code enforcement timelines
• Municipal lien risks
• As-is transactions
• Distressed property transfers

➡️ If you’re unsure how you reached this stage, review the Order Repair vs Noncompliance Guide.

What Happens to the Order to Repair After the Property Is Sold?

In most cases:

• The Order to Repair stays attached to the property, not the owner
• Responsibility transfers to the new buyer
• The city continues enforcement unless compliance occurs

This is why selling early — before forced repairs, liens, or demolition — is critical.

We structure purchases to:

• Take on the enforcement burden
• Resolve violations post-closing
• Stop penalties from escalating further

Why Most Traditional Buyers Can’t Buy These Properties

Properties with active Orders to Repair often fail because:

• Banks won’t finance them
• Inspections won’t pass
• Insurance may be unavailable
• Buyers fear unknown repair costs

This leaves owners stuck — unless they work with a buyer who:

• Buys with cash
• Accepts open violations
• Understands municipal enforcement
• Closes quickly, without contingencies

Why Selling Before Enforcement Escalates Matters

Ignoring or delaying action can lead to:

• Daily fines
• Administrative fees
• City-performed repairs billed to you
• Municipal liens with interest
• Condemnation or demolition orders

Selling before these steps occur can:

• Preserve remaining equity
• Avoid forced repairs
• Prevent liens from attaching
• Stop enforcement timelines
