Can the U.S. government demolish your house if you don't build it to code?

You have asked a complicated legal question and the laws vary in the United States. Generally, the local government could condemn the property, thus preventing you from inhabiting the dwelling, and issue an order that requires you make the necessary repairs to bring the property up to code. If you continue to fail to bring the property up to code the structure will fall into disrepair and that could eventually result in a demolition order. If the situation goes that far the city or town could place a demolition lien on the property that must be paid off it the property is ever sold.
