Common situations in Genesee County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
When an owner dies, the estate is opened in the Genesee County Probate Court, and the personal representative it appoints signs the deed when the house is sold.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
A Genesee County mortgage foreclosure usually ends in a sheriff's sale held by the county sheriff, and the owner can still sell during the redemption period that follows. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Genesee County Treasurer collects delinquent property taxes and forecloses on houses that stay unpaid long enough; foreclosed houses can end up with the county land bank or at auction.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Flint enforces its property maintenance and blight rules on vacant and run-down houses, and repeated violations can bring fines or a demolition order.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Landlords file evictions (summary proceedings) for City of Flint houses in the 67th District Court, which took over the work of Flint's former 68th District Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Flint: questions
My late father's Flint house has been empty for years and still has unpaid taxes. Can it be sold?
Often, yes. The estate usually has to be opened first so someone has authority to sign, and the back taxes are paid out of the sale at closing. Check with the Genesee County Treasurer how close the house is to a tax foreclosure, because that date sets how fast everything has to move.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Flint?
Michigan sales close through a title company, which clears the mortgage and any delinquent taxes at closing. Once you accept an offer, most Genesee County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
