How Michigan property taxes work - Northville relocation buyer tips

How Michigan property taxes work - Northville relocation buyer tips

Sometimes when moving to Northville Michigan home buyers are confused how Michigan property taxes work.  Hey even some people who live here are confused.  In the Metro Detroit area we have two taxes.  We call them winter and summer taxes.  They really are city taxes and county taxes but we call them summer and winter taxes because of when they are due.

So summer taxes are not for July to December, nor are winter taxes for December to July.  Summer taxes are for a full year period from July 1 to June30.  Winter taxes are for a full year period from December 1 to November 30.

In Michigan we pay taxes forward.  So if you pay summer taxes in July of 2012, they are paid from July 2012 until June 30, 2013.  Same way with winter taxes.  If you pay them on December 1, 2012 they are good until Nov 30, 2013.

This should give you an idea of what to expect when moving to Northville Michigan and how Michigan taxes work when buying a home.

Preparing your pets for a move - Northville home selling tips

Preparing your pets for a move - Northville home selling tips

When taking your cats and dogs in your car, remember to put down newspapers, plastic, or sheets to keep your car clean. It's best to cage the animals if they are not used to traveling in a car.  Animals can get carsick and may accidently urinate or defecate in the car.  You want that to be contained in one area.  Be sure to have extra towels to absorb the mess.  Carry deodorizing spray to help with smells. 

Pets require stops along the way, so take along a leash, food and water. Other small pets, such as birds and hamsters, can easily be taken in the car.

Covering your pet's cages can help keep them calm. Remember loud music and unusual noises can upset them.  Talk to them along the way.  Pet them and exercise them along the way.

You can get better get recommendations from your local pet store or vet on making your move for your pet easier.

Why am I paying for a mortgage title policy - Northville first time home buyer tips

Why am I paying for a mortgage title policy - Northville first time home buyer tips

Title insurance is often required to protect the lender against loss if a flaw in title is not found by the title search made when the house is purchased. So the bank or lender requires a mortgage title policy to protect their interest in the policy.  So you the buyer have to pay for the policy if you want the bank to lend you  the money.

It is no different than you paying for an appraisal.  The bank just wants to make sure the house is worth what they are lending you. You also pay for a flood insurance search to make sure flood insurance is not needed.  You pay for all the items the bank needs to make them feel comfortable giving you a loan.

It is that simple you want their money, you have to jump through their hoops, and pay for the needed items to make them feel comfortable.  The bank wants a property that is free and clear and that is what the mortgage title policy insures.  It protects the bank.  So that is why you have to pay for it.  If you don't pay for the title policy you are not getting a loan.

I hope these first time home buyer tips help you.
