Sell a House With Code Violations in Selma, CA
Open code violations make a house hard to finance and hard to insure, which scares off most buyers. House Junkies buys Selma houses with open violations, red tags, and unpaid code fees as-is, and handles the city process ourselves after we close.
Selma calls itself the "Raisin Capital of the World," reflecting the same raisin-and-grape agricultural heritage as Dinuba just south of it.
Selma sits along Highway 99 between Fresno and Fowler, in the heart of Fresno County's grape-growing region.
Code Enforcement in Selma
Inside Selma city limits, code problems go to the City of Selma's Code Enforcement team, part of Community Development, reachable at (559) 891-2207. Its list includes abandoned or foreclosed homes, building and property complaints, and abandoned vehicles.
Just outside city limits, it is Fresno County Code Enforcement, part of Public Works and Planning, at (559) 600-4550 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 Selma house with open violations without asking you to fix anything first. See our full page on selling a house with code violations.
