Before you list in Livonia
Book the final water reading early
Appointments can run two weeks or more out, and the city may need to get inside to read the meter. Call Water Billing as soon as you have a closing date: 734-466-2278.
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 your water service line
Livonia's map shows what your line is made of. If it says unknown, the city will check it for free.
Check the flood map
FEMA maps flood zones along the Upper Rouge River, Tarabusi Creek and Bell Branch. If the home is in a zone, the buyer's lender will require flood insurance.
