    Is this you?

    This page is for you if…

    • The house has been empty for months
    • You've received code enforcement notices
    • Insurance is hard to get or expensive
    • You live out of state and can't check on it

    Vacancy insurance is costly

    Many standard policies limit coverage on empty homes.

    Code fines accumulate

    Overgrowth, boarded windows, unsafe structures.

    Vandalism and theft

    Empty homes are targets.

    Code violations and city liens

    Unpaid code fines can become liens on the property. Title identifies them and they're typically paid or negotiated at closing. Some cities will reduce fines once a new owner commits to correcting the issues.

    Insurance on an empty house

    Many homeowner policies restrict coverage after a home has been vacant for a set period. Check your policy — an uninsured loss on a vacant home is one of the costliest surprises owners face.

    This page is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Laws and timelines differ by state. Talk to a licensed attorney, CPA or HUD-approved housing counselor about your specific situation.
