Before you list in Farmington Hills
Look up open permits
An old permit that was never closed turns up in the buyer's inspection or at the title company. Closing it now is usually a call and a final inspection.
Check the current flood map
FEMA revised Farmington Hills' map in spots as recently as October 2021, along the Upper Rouge River, the Main Ravines Drain and smaller creeks. If the home is in a zone, the buyer's lender will require flood insurance.
The final water bill
There isn't one. Oakland County's Water Resources Commissioner bills Farmington Hills water, and it doesn't take final readings or send final bills. The title company emails wrcstatus@oaklandcountymi.gov for the balance and splits the next bill by the days each owner had the house.
Renting it instead?
Farmington Hills registers rental houses and inspects the outside before it issues a rental Certificate of Compliance.
