Use Wyoming's unusually detailed parcel record before pricing repairs

Start with the City of Wyoming Assessor's record. The city says its approximately 25,000 parcel files can include owner and mailing names, structure photographs and drawings, parcel sketches, building-permit lists, and ownership-transfer histories. Save the parcel number, legal description, assessed and taxable values, building dimensions, sketches, and every permit reference. Compare those details with the deed from the Kent County Register of Deeds, which records deeds, mortgages, land contracts, liens, and other real-estate instruments. Search the decedent, spouse, trust, and prior owner names, then let the title professional resolve releases, survivorship language, land contracts, or a mismatched legal description. Contact Wyoming Building Inspections for the underlying applications, approved plans, inspections, and final status. That division enforces building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, property-maintenance, rental, and sign codes. Check basement finishing, egress, additions, decks, garages, roofs, furnaces, water heaters, electrical panels, and plumbing changes. A permit listed on the assessor record is a lead; it does not by itself show that all inspections passed.

Next, establish signing authority through the deed and estate documents. Kent County Probate Court provides the local court route, but the facts may point to probate, trust administration, survivorship, or another transfer process. Give counsel the death certificate, will, trust, letters of authority, marriage history, and co-owner facts. Inspect and photograph basement walls and egress, foundation cracks, roof and gutters, drainage, sewer symptoms, service lines, electrical service, furnace, water heater, garage, driveway, trees, and stored belongings. If the property was rented, request the city's rental and inspection history and identify tenant deposits, leases, or possession issues before promising delivery. If it is vacant, ask the insurer about heat, water, visits, and policy limits, and arrange mowing, snow, mail, and security. Michigan taxable value can change after a transfer, so do not carry the decedent's current tax bill into a buyer projection without professional confirmation. Compare a cash offer and listing net on the same date using title, cleanout, permits, supported repairs, commissions, concessions, taxes, utilities, insurance, preservation, and heir coordination.
