## Wayne County context

Wayne County is Michigan's largest county, and the paper trail of a sale runs through county offices in Detroit. Probate goes through the Wayne County Probate Court; circuit-court matters run through the Third Judicial Circuit, the busiest trial court in Michigan. Most Michigan foreclosures never reach that courthouse: foreclosure by advertisement means the notice publishes once a week for four weeks in a county newspaper, posts on the property, and the sheriff holds the sale, followed by a redemption period that is usually six months. You can sell before the sale, and often during redemption.

Wayne County also runs the largest tax foreclosure operation in the state: the county treasurer forecloses property about three years behind on taxes under Michigan's Public Act 123, a track separate from mortgage foreclosure. Selling costs are county-level too: the seller pays the Michigan real estate transfer tax of $7.50 per $1,000 plus the county tax of $1.10 per $1,000, $8.60 per $1,000 combined, at the Wayne County Register of Deeds. InTym Properties itemizes every line before you sign.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which Wayne County cities do you buy in?

Detroit has its own page below. For anywhere else in the county (Dearborn, Livonia, Taylor, the downriver cities, the Grosse Pointes), email hello@intymproperties.com or call/text (650) 540-1854 and InTym Properties will tell you straight whether we can buy it.

### How does foreclosure work in Wayne County?

Two tracks. Mortgage foreclosure mostly runs by advertisement: four weeks of published notice, a posting on the property, a sheriff's sale, then a redemption period that is usually six months. Tax-delinquent property faces the Wayne County Treasurer's foreclosure under Public Act 123 on roughly a three-year clock. You can sell before either sale.

### How does probate work in Wayne County?

Through the Wayne County Probate Court in Detroit. A personal representative is appointed, and once authorized can sign the sale. InTym Properties can make a written offer now and close when the fiduciary is ready.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Wayne County?

In a normal sale, the seller pays the Michigan state transfer tax of $7.50 per $1,000 plus the county tax of $1.10 per $1,000, $8.60 per $1,000 combined, plus title and recording fees at the Wayne County Register of Deeds. Your written offer shows every cost line by line before you sign.

### How fast can you close in Wayne County?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. Detroit title work often involves old land contracts, unprobated estates, or tax liens, which is where the real timeline lives; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date.
