Yes. We buy houses with open code cases and recorded liens. The title company gets payoff or reduction letters from the local government and the liens are resolved at closing, so you don't have to make the repairs first.
For Volusia County properties, the local steps run through the Volusia County Circuit Court (7th Judicial Circuit) and the Volusia County Clerk of Court.
How code violation works in Volusia County
The steps below follow Florida statutes and the offices that handle them in Volusia County.
Notice of violation
A code officer gives notice and a deadline to fix the problem (Chapter 162, Fla. Stat.).
Hearing
If it isn't fixed, the case goes to the code enforcement board or special magistrate, which can set daily fines.
Fines become a lien
Once the fine order is recorded in the Volusia County public records, it becomes a lien on the property and on the violator's other property (s. 162.09).
Foreclosure risk
Three months after the lien is filed, the local government can sue to foreclose it — except on homestead property.
Reduction or payoff
Many local governments offer lien reduction once the property comes into compliance or is sold to someone who will fix it.
