Situations we help Fort White owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. Fort White is an incorporated town (its charter calls it a municipal corporation in Columbia County), but its Town Council voted in March 2019 to enter an interlocal agreement with Columbia County for code enforcement. The Town’s minutes describe a County code enforcement officer investigating complaints and a Special Magistrate hearing code matters in place of the Town’s former code enforcement board. Columbia County Code Enforcement is at 135 NE Hernando Ave., Lake City, (386) 758-1038; Fort White Town Hall is at (386) 497-2321. Neither the Town nor the County pages we found give fine amounts, so the limits come from state law (s. 162.09), which caps fines at $250 a day for a first violation, $500 a day for a repeat and $5,000 for an irreparable violation; only cities and counties of 50,000 or more can adopt higher caps by ordinance. Fort White’s 2020 census population was 617, well under that threshold. A recorded fine order becomes a lien, and after three months unpaid the local government can pursue foreclosure or a money judgment, though a lien cannot be foreclosed on homestead property. We pay liens from the sale proceeds at closing.
  • Foreclosure. In Columbia County, the Clerk of Court says foreclosure sales are held in person, starting at 11:00 a.m. on the third floor of the Columbia County Courthouse, 173 N.E. Hernando Avenue, Lake City. The successful bidder deposits 5% of the final bid at the time of the sale (cash, cashier’s check or money order, non-refundable), and the balance is due by 4:30 p.m. on the day of the sale unless the final judgment says otherwise. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. Columbia County tax deed sales are run through the Clerk of Court, and the Clerk says all tax deed sales are held on the third floor of the Columbia County Courthouse. Questions about a tax deed file can go to the Clerk’s office at (386) 758-1342. A tax deed sale can wipe out your ownership, so selling first can protect your equity.
  • HOA assessments and violations. If your home is in an association, Florida law (s. 720.3085) lets an association with the right in its governing documents hold a lien for unpaid assessments. It must give 45 days’ written notice before recording it and can foreclose after a further 45-day notice. A new owner can be jointly liable with the prior owner for assessments owed before the transfer, so a sale needs to clear that balance. If the home is rented, the association can demand rent from the tenant until the debt is paid. We handle the payoff from the sale proceeds.
  • Inherited and probate homes. We can buy while probate is open and work with your attorney.
  • Rentals and problem tenants. We buy tenant-occupied homes and homes with holdover occupants; you do not have to evict first.
  • Hoarder houses, fire damage, unpermitted work. We buy them as they are.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
