Sell a House With Code Violations in Delano, CA

Delano is the northernmost city in Kern County and the second-largest by population.
Code Enforcement in Delano
Inside Delano city limits, code problems are handled by the City of Delano.
Just outside city limits, it is Kern County Public Works Code Compliance that handles code problems instead of the City.
Code enforcement costs that go unpaid can turn into a lien on the property. A lien does not stop a sale. It gets paid off out of the sale at closing, through escrow, before you get your money. Our page on selling a house with liens explains how that works.
Our licensed crew, House Junkies Construction (CA LIC#1077593), pulls permits and works through city processes like these on every house we renovate. That is why we can buy a Delano house with open violations without asking you to fix anything first. See our full page on selling a house with code violations.
