Tallahassee's Drainage Ditches and Older Houses: Selling Without Repairs

Tallahassee sits about 25 miles inland and averages 58.8 inches of rain a year, and most of its flooding comes from rising or flowing water in its ditches, streams and lakes ². The City names four drainage ditches whose channels can't carry the runoff in heavy storms: the West Drainage Ditch near Springhill Road and Lake Bradford Road, the Northeast near Centerville Road and Capital Circle NE, the Central near Stadium Drive, Eppes Drive and Pepper Drive, and the East near Orange Avenue, Blair Stone Drive and Fleetwood Street. Several closed basins in the city flood too ³.

Big repairs can bring in the City's flood rules. For a house in the floodplain, if repairs or renovations cost 50% or more of the structure's market value, the lowest finished floor has to be raised to at least 2 feet above the base flood elevation, or flood-proofed in A zones ². You don't have to take that on to sell. Tell us whether water has ever come into the house or the garage.

Cash or a Listing? Weighing Both in Tallahassee

A Tallahassee house in good condition may well bring a higher price through an agent than from a cash buyer, if you can wait. The costs still come off the top: the commission, whatever a buyer's inspector wants fixed, and the mortgage, insurance, taxes and utilities until closing. The Leon County listing figures show how long homes have been taking to sell.

Run the Tallahassee cost example to see what a listing might leave you, then set our written offer beside that amount.

On a $330,000 sale

Example, not a quote.

Listing with an agent

Sale price: $330,000
Agent commission (5.5% here; it varies): −$18,150
Repairs before listing (example): −$12,000
Documentary stamp tax on the deed: −$2,310
Owner's title policy (state rate): −$1,725
Settlement and other closing fees (example): −$1,400
Three months of carrying costs (example): −$5,940
You'd walk away with: $288,475

Comparing a cash offer

In this example, listing would leave you about $288,475 before your mortgage payoff. Compare that with your cash offer, less any closing costs you'd still pay.

With our cash offer there's no agent's commission, and we pay standard closing costs.

When a Tree Comes Down on a Tallahassee House

On the morning of May 10, 2024, an intense line of storms produced at least five tornadoes in the region, several of them in Leon County and the Tallahassee area. By one City of Tallahassee measure, broken power poles, the damage met or exceeded that of Hurricanes Hermine, Michael and Idalia combined. The two strongest, both rated EF-2, reached an estimated 115 mph, one on a path of nearly 20 miles and the other more than 27 miles long, and numerous homes along the tracks were damaged by falling trees ¹.

If a limb or a whole tree came down on your house that day or since, you can sell it with the damage, the tarp or the half-finished repair. Tell us what happened, what the insurance company paid and what's still undone.

Tallahassee Sellers Facing Something Harder

If one of these sounds like your situation, here's what Florida law says about it, in plain terms. For advice on your situation, talk to a Florida attorney.

Facing foreclosureA lender has to go to court first. How the sale works, and how long you can still stop it.

Leon County foreclosures are heard in the Second Judicial Circuit, which covers Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty and Wakulla counties ⁴. The Leon County Clerk posts its foreclosure sale information, with case numbers, sale dates and judgment amounts, on its Property Sales page ⁵. You can generally stop the sale by paying the full amount the judgment requires, any time until the clerk files the certificate of sale or a later time set in the judgment ⁶. Selling before the sale date may still be possible, but Florida's equity-purchaser law strictly regulates buying a home that's already in foreclosure ⁷. Have a real estate attorney look at any contract before you sign.

Inherited a houseWho handles the estate, and the shorter court process smaller estates may use.

Tallahassee estates go through the Second Judicial Circuit ⁴. The Leon County Clerk's probate questions and answers say the custodian of a will has to deposit it with the Clerk within 10 days of learning of the death, with the date of death or Social Security number if available, and that a personal representative must be represented by a Florida attorney unless they're the only interested person. The Clerk's courthouse office is at 301 S. Monroe Street, with a Northeast Branch on Metropolitan Boulevard ⁸. Summary administration is open when the estate is worth $150,000 or less, or the owner died more than two years ago ⁹. Tell us where the estate stands, and we'll set the closing around it.

Behind on paymentsA servicer generally can't start foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind.

Federal rules generally bar a mortgage servicer from starting foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind ¹⁰. That time can be used to call your servicer about options, or to sell before a case is ever filed.

Going through a divorceHow a court splits the house, and why selling can make it simpler.

In a Florida divorce, the court starts from the premise that marital property should be split equally, unless there's a reason for an unequal split ¹¹. Selling the house turns it into money that's simpler to divide. Your divorce attorneys can tell you what your order requires before either of you signs a contract.

Selling a rental with tenantsYour tenants don't have to move out first, and their deposits pass to the new owner.

The tenant doesn't have to move out before we make an offer. When a Florida rental is sold, the tenants' security deposits and advance rent go to the new owner, with an accounting for each tenant ¹². If a tenant is month to month, either side can end the tenancy with written notice at least 30 days before the end of a monthly rent period ¹³. Tell us about the lease and the rent on the call.

Moving away or downsizingLine the sale up with your move, and you may keep part of your homestead tax savings.

The sale can line up with your move. If you had a Florida homestead exemption in any of the past three years and set up a new Florida homestead, you can apply to carry part of your old assessment savings to the new home, up to $500,000 ¹⁴.

Questions Tallahassee Homeowners Bring Us

Prefer to talk it through?

Call (984) 489-8269

What timeline should I expect for a cash sale in Tallahassee?

Closing can be as soon as 14 days after you accept our written offer, once the title is checked and the loan payoff is in hand. A lender has seven business days to send a payoff statement after a written request ¹⁶. A probate estate or tenants can lengthen that, and a later date is fine if you're still arranging a move.

Will I net less selling my Tallahassee house for cash than by listing it?

Possibly, especially if the house is in good condition and you have time. The fair comparison is what you'd walk away with: a listing's price minus the commission, the repairs and the months you carry the house, against our written offer.

Must I tell a buyer about tree or water damage to my Tallahassee house?

Generally, yes, if the damage materially affects the home's value and isn't easy to see. That's the duty the Florida Supreme Court set out in Johnson v. Davis ¹⁷. Florida's flood disclosure, given at or before signing, adds any flood damage, flood insurance claims and FEMA help while you've owned the house ¹⁸.

My Tallahassee rental near FSU or FAMU has student tenants. Do they have to move out before closing?

Not necessarily. When a Florida rental is sold, the tenants' security deposits and advance rent pass to the new owner ¹². Tell us the lease dates, the rent and the deposits on the call, and we'll plan the closing around the lease.

Where can I check the flood zone for my Tallahassee house?

Call the City's Growth Management Department at 850-891-7001 and press 4, or search your address on the FEMA map at the Tallahassee-Leon County GIS site. A house outside the flood zone can still flood because of poor site grading, landscaping or a badly built driveway ², so mention any water you've had.

Is there City help for a Tallahassee house where the yard floods?

Possibly, if you're staying. The City's Stormwater On-Site Mitigation Loan Program lends up to $60,000, with grants for income-qualified customers, to owner-occupants inside city limits for work that prevents interior flooding from overland flow and shallow yard pooling. It doesn't pay to repair flood damage that has already happened ¹⁹. If you'd rather not take on that project, we buy the house as it is.

I'm retiring from a state job and leaving Tallahassee. Can the sale fit my last day at work?

Yes. Tell us your last day and your moving date, and pick a closing date that fits them. If you'll already have moved by then, say so on the call, and the title company or closing attorney can tell you what's possible for your closing.
