Dunedin · Pinellas County
An old code case, a lien you’d like reduced, or a house below flood level that a big repair would push into the 50% review: here’s how Dunedin handles each, and how a sale works.
The short answer
Yes. We buy Dunedin houses as-is, for cash. Two City processes shape most sales here: Code Compliance, which seeks voluntary compliance first and can take a case to the Dunedin Code Enforcement Board, and the City’s 50% flood review, which applies only in a flood zone, when the lowest floor or its equipment sits below today’s base flood elevation. You don’t have to finish either one before you sell.

We read the county calendars and court filings every week, and the cities’ own code reports, for our Tampa Bay housing data. For Dunedin sellers, the latest:
The City’s Code Compliance Division (formerly Code Enforcement) enforces the City code, the Florida Building Code and the International Property Maintenance Code. Its stated goal is voluntary compliance; if an owner doesn’t comply, inspectors can issue civil citations or bring the case before the Dunedin Code Enforcement Board.
When you sell to us, recorded code liens are paid or released at closing through the title company, and we take on any open case as the new owner.
Dunedin’s records we received under Florida’s public records law (as of October 13, 2026) cover Code Enforcement Board agendas and orders and demolition permits: 35 board agenda items, 6 board orders and 46 demolition permits, on 64 properties.
Counts only, no addresses. Method and the other cities: Tampa Bay code enforcement liens by the numbers.
Dunedin reviews repairs and improvements on buildings in a special flood hazard area (zones A, AE and VE). From the City’s review package:
The 2025 package also describes a five-year cumulative period for improvements. Florida law since 2025 (s. 163.31795) bars local governments in the National Flood Insurance Program from adopting or enforcing a cumulative substantial-improvement period, so ask the City’s Community Development Department (727-298-3210) how it counts earlier projects today. A sale to us doesn’t require any of this work.
Dunedin is one of Pinellas County’s 24 cities, so the County Tax Collector and the Clerk run the back-tax timeline here as everywhere in the county: taxes unpaid on April 1 are delinquent, a tax certificate is sold by June 1, and about two years later the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed. More: behind on property taxes in Pinellas and selling anywhere in Pinellas County.
AL buys Dunedin houses directly, for his company’s own account, from the office at 433 Central Ave in St. Petersburg. Code liens, back taxes and flood-review issues we find go into the written offer, and a licensed Florida title company settles them at closing. Closing typically takes 7–21 days once the title is clear, or later on a date you choose. We are not real estate agents or attorneys; this is general information, not legal advice. If a foreclosure has been filed, see a Florida attorney first.
No. Under the City’s review process it applies to buildings in a special flood hazard area whose lowest floor or equipment sits below the current base flood elevation. If they’re at or above it, the rule doesn’t apply.
The City takes applications for the reduction or waiver of code compliance liens; the application form is on its Code Compliance page. Lien searches go through Code Compliance at 727-298-3198.
It uses the tax-assessed value of the structure, excluding the land. An owner who disagrees can submit a certified appraisal from a state-licensed appraiser.
Yes, for cash and for our own account, with code liens and back taxes paid at closing through a licensed Florida title company.
