Match Troy parcel and permit information to Oakland County title

Use Troy's Parcel Information Center to capture the parcel number, owner display, assessed and taxable values, legal-description references, property characteristics, and available tax information. Then use Oakland County's Property Gateway for county mapping and parcel context. These tools identify and describe the property; they do not determine estate authority or replace a title search. The Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds maintains recorded real-estate documents. Retrieve the vesting deed, later transfers, mortgages, discharges, liens, easements, restrictions, and plats. Compare the legal description and every owner name with the death certificate, will, trust, Probate Court appointment, and title work. If a trust or transfer-on-death instrument appears, have the estate and title professionals explain how it affects this parcel rather than assuming probate is unnecessary.

Troy's permit applications provide a local address-based record of issued work. Search for additions, finished basements, egress, decks, roofs, garages, electrical service, plumbing, heating and cooling, sewer or water work, and occupancy changes. An issued permit is not always the same as a final approval, so ask for inspection or closure information when the record is incomplete. Photograph the home's current layout and systems, including any basement bedroom, second kitchen, added bath, or converted space. Oakland County Probate Court handles estate and will matters, while the Register of Deeds records land instruments; neither substitutes for Troy's municipal building file. Once the signer and condition are documented, compare a written cash offer with a listing. Deduct title and probate work, cleanout, permits, repairs, commissions, concessions, taxes, utilities, insurance, association costs, lawn or snow care, and security using one expected possession date.
