Novi sellers tips -closing and water bills
| So we are getting close to closing on your Novi home. Here is what you have to do for the water bill and what to expect. Michigan water bills follow the house. Communities many times just send a water bill to “occupant”. So if a water bill is not paid, it gets added to the tax bill. The water bill becomes a lien on the property. Michigan title companies know this. So if you are selling a Novi home the title company require you, the seller to pay up all past water bills. They will escrow money for the water bill to be paid. Many times the water escrow is 1.5 to 2 times the highest water bill you have had. The reason why the title company does this is to protect themselves from there not being enough money to pay a past water bill. We all know how high Novi water bills can be sometimes. So the way around the large water escrow is to call for a final water reading. Then you can run to the city and pay the final water bill or you can bring the final water bill to the closing or you can fax it to me and I will send it to the title company prior to closing. That way there will be no huge water escrow. It is the same way with homes for sale in Walled Lake Michigan
