Reconcile Flint property files with Genesee County deed records

Begin with Flint's assessment and property-lookup tools. The Assessment Division maintains city land and building records, valuations, transfer affidavits, exemptions, and parcel changes. Use that information to identify the parcel and compare basic characteristics with the house. Then retrieve the vesting deed and later instruments from the Genesee County Register of Deeds. Assessment data and a tax mailing name do not replace recorded title or probate authority. Give the deed, death certificate, will, trust, court appointment, marital history, and co-owner details to the title and legal professionals. Ask them to identify every required signature, lien, release, tax balance, and recording needed for closing.

Flint Building and Safety publishes current permit applications and routes for building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, sewer, drain, and water work. It also manages rental registration and inspections. Compare those records with the roof, porch, garage, basement, heating system, electrical service, plumbing, and any altered room. If the property was rented, collect the registration, inspections, leases, deposits, rent ledger, and notices. Do not assume a vacant house belongs in the city's abandoned-property program; city instructions describe that registration in a mortgage-servicing context. Keep utilities and insurance appropriate for vacancy, photograph conditions before cleanout, and preserve invoices. Compare an as-is cash offer with a listing plan that includes title work, debris removal, security, utilities, permits, repairs, taxes, commissions, concessions, and the estate's coordination time.
