Purchasers should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review the attached Pre-Sale Inspection Report for more detail. Please also note that at closing the purchaser will be responsible for paying all properly-assessed property taxes not otherwise exempt pursuant to the statutory authority of the Detroit Land Bank.
Properties purchased between November 1st, 2015 and March 1st, 2016 will receive an automatic 90-day extension. In other words, purchasers will have 9 months to rehabilitate the property, or 12 months for properties located within an historic district.
Finally, please note that any discounts on the purchase (i.e. the city employee discount); will be granted at the time of closing on the sale. The purchaser will be charged $1,000.00 upon winning the bid, regardless of any discounts.
Please note that the rehab cost will often cost more than the winning bid price. Failure to bring a property up to code within 6 months will result in forfeiture of property (9 months for historic properties). Auction dates are subject to change. Check the site regularly to be aware of any schedule changes.
