Owning a house with code violations in Spokane can feel like a ticking time bomb. Whether it’s a safety issue, an unpermitted addition, or a warning letter from the city, the stress piles up fast. We’ve helped many Spokane homeowners sell their properties fast, even when code enforcement was breathing down their necks.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to sell your Spokane house — even if it has zoning issues, structural problems, or health and sanitation violations.
What Are Code Violations in Spokane?
Code violations are issues where a property fails to comply with local building, zoning, or health regulations. In Spokane, this can include:
- Unpermitted work (like a DIY basement remodel)
- Structural damage
- Plumbing or electrical problems
- Broken windows or exposed wires
- Junk and debris in the yard
- Mold, pest infestations, or sanitation concerns
Depending on the severity, Spokane County may fine you, order you to make repairs, or even condemn the home.

Can You Sell a House With Code Violations?
Yes — you can absolutely sell a house with code violations in Spokane. You just have to find the right kind of buyer. Most traditional buyers using loans won’t qualify for a mortgage on a house with major violations. That’s where cash home buyers come in.
Your Options for Selling
1. Fix the Violations Before Selling
- Pros: May increase property value.
- Cons: Expensive, time-consuming, may require permits and inspections.
2. Sell As-Is to a Cash Buyer
- Pros: No repairs, no inspections, fast closing.
- Cons: Sale price may be lower, but you’re saving on time and costs.
Real Story From Spokane: Basement Fire and Code Orders
One Spokane homeowner we helped had a small fire in the basement that damaged electrical wiring. The city issued code violation notices, and the seller didn’t have the funds to fix it. We stepped in, bought the home as-is, and they walked away with cash in under two weeks.
That’s what we do — help people out of tight situations with zero judgment.
