Land with county code, nuisance or overgrowth notices
How a small notice becomes a lien
Most counties and towns have ordinances against overgrown lots, accumulated junk, abandoned vehicles and unsafe structures. The usual sequence is a notice giving you a deadline to fix the problem, then escalation: fines that accrue, a hearing, and often the local government sending its own contractor to mow, clear or demolish and billing you for the work. In many places that unpaid bill becomes a lien on the land and is collected like property taxes.
If you live nearby, maintaining the land may be simple. If you live hours or states away, it rarely is. Paying a crew to mow a few acres several times a season, or to haul away an old mobile home, can cost more each year than the land is worth to you. And a notice sent to an old address can mean fines accrue before you ever hear about them.
The good news is that none of this makes the land unsellable. It simply becomes one more item to clear at closing.
Selling the land as-is
Send us the parcel number and a copy of any notice you have received. We look at the county record, the code-enforcement file where it is available, and recent aerial imagery, and make a written offer that accounts for whatever clearing, hauling or demolition we will do after closing. You do not need to fix anything first.
The title search will pick up recorded abatement liens and assessments. Those are paid from the proceeds at closing, like any other lien. Open cases that are not yet liens can often be resolved with the code officer once the sale is scheduled, because the county’s real goal is a maintained property, and a new owner with a plan usually satisfies it.
If there is an old mobile home, camper or shed on the land, that is fine too. We regularly buy lots with structures that need to come down and handle the removal ourselves.
What we take off your plate
No mowing crews
We buy the land overgrown. Clearing is our job once we own it.
Liens and fines settled
Abatement liens and assessments are paid from proceeds at closing.
Structures welcome
Dilapidated sheds, old mobile homes and junk vehicles are priced in, not a reason to walk away.
We talk to the county
Once under contract, we can coordinate with the code officer on the plan for the property.
Sell from anywhere
Sign by mail or mobile notary. No trips back to deal with it.
No fees, no obligation
The offer and the research are free.
Selling land with code violations, step by step
Three steps, no obligation at any point, and no cost to you at any stage.
One call or one form
Tell us the address or APN and the rough size. You do not need a survey, a plat or the tax bill in front of you — we look all of that up.
We value it properly
We research the parcel ourselves, at our cost, before we quote. We price it off recent sales of similar acreage and adjust for access, soil, flood mapping, timber and shape. No cost to you, no commitment.
Written offer, your decision
You have our number in writing within 24 hours. If you take it, a licensed title company closes it and we cover the standard closing costs — typically 14 to 30 days.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Both are legitimate. Listing can bring a higher gross price if you have time, the tract is easy to finance and you can carry the taxes while it sits. Here is the honest comparison.
| Selling to Dreamify | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you are dealing with | A direct cash buyer — we are the ones purchasing | An agent marketing it to someone else |
| Commission | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Usually split or seller-paid |
| Repairs, survey, clean-up | Not your problem | Often requested by retail buyers |
| Financing risk | None — cash | Land loans fall through often |
| Timeline | As little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back | Land can sit on the market for months |

We buy with our own money — here is what we have closed
We are a principal buyer using our own capital, not a lead broker collecting details to sell on. A sample of tracts we have bought and closed:

Questions we get asked
Can I sell land with an open code violation?
Yes. We buy with open cases. Recorded fines or liens are paid at closing, and we deal with the property after we own it.
The county mowed my lot and sent me a bill. What now?
If unpaid, that charge may already be a lien. It is paid from the proceeds when you sell to us.
Do I have to remove the old mobile home or shed first?
No. We price removal into our offer and handle it after closing.
I never received the notices. Am I still responsible?
Possibly. Notices often go to the address on the tax record. We can help you find out what is on file, but questions about contesting fines belong with a local attorney.
How fast can you close?
We give a written offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 14 to 30 days. If your timeline is longer, we close on the date that suits you.
What does it cost me to sell to you?
Nothing. No commission, no closing costs, no document fees. We buy with our own capital and pay the closing costs ourselves.
