Selling a house in Westland: what to know
Westland’s Certificate of Approval
Westland requires a Certificate of Approval on every house that is sold or transferred, before the sale closes. The seller files a Home Sale or Transfer Application with a $250 fee, a city housing inspector does a code inspection, and a licensed contractor has to certify the furnace or boiler as safe.
Selling without doing the repairs
If the seller doesn’t finish the inspection process, the city lets the buyer take it on. The buyer buys a $40 Approval Letter to Close, signs a Remaining Violations Disclosure Form, and has 90 days after closing to make the repairs and pass a final inspection.
That is how we buy in Westland: you sell as-is, and the buyer, either Apexo Group or the investor we assign the contract to, takes responsibility for the repairs after closing.
Behind on property taxes in Wayne County
Michigan property taxes that are still unpaid on March 1 after the tax year become delinquent and go to the county treasurer, with interest and fees added. A year later the property is forfeited. If the taxes reach two years delinquent and aren’t paid by March 31, the county forecloses and takes title, and the house goes to public auction.
Until that March 31 deadline, the house is still yours to sell, and the back taxes are paid out of the sale at closing. After a foreclosure and auction, a former owner can claim leftover sale proceeds only by filing a notice by the county’s deadline. If you’re in this situation, tell us the amount owed in the form notes so we can work out whether a sale clears it.
Questions Westland sellers ask
Do I have to fix inspection violations before selling in Westland?
No. Westland allows the buyer to accept the remaining violations and complete the repairs within 90 days after closing.
What does Westland’s home sale application cost?
The city lists the seller’s Home Sale or Transfer Application at $250, and the buyer’s Approval Letter to Close at $40.
Do you buy Westland rentals with tenants?
Yes, we look at occupied rentals. Tell us about the lease in the form notes.
Who actually buys my property?
Either Apexo Group or an investor we assign our contract to. If we assign it, the investor buys from you at the price and terms in your contract. We tell you this in writing before you sign.
