Do I have to fix a sidewalk violation before selling my house in Marietta or Milton?

A sidewalk violation does not automatically have to be fixed before you can close on a house in Marietta or Milton, but it needs to be disclosed, and some buyers or lenders may require it resolved as a loan condition. Whether it becomes a dealbreaker often depends on the buyer's financing type and how the city or county code enforcement process is handling it. Clearing it before listing avoids the issue coming up mid-contract. Joel Boss can help you weigh fixing it now against disclosing and negotiating later.
