What can go wrong at closing
Detroit properties carry compliance risks that don't appear on a standard title search. Here's what catches buyers off guard.
Hidden blight liens
Unpaid blight judgments can exceed $10,000 and transfer to the new owner at closing.
Tax pop-up on transfer
When a Detroit property transfers, the taxable value uncaps to 50% of true cash value — annual taxes can jump thousands.
No Certificate of Compliance
90% of Detroit rental properties lack a CoC. Without one, the property can't be legally rented — or sometimes transferred.
Demolition liens
The city demolishes structures at $20K–$40K per property. These costs attach as liens that aren't always recorded promptly.
Water & sewer debt
DWSD debt transfers with the property, not the person. Outstanding balances can block closing.
Open permits
Unfinished permitted work creates enforcement liability. The buyer inherits the obligation to complete it.
