If you received a ticket
- Fix the violation first, then request a re-inspection; many fines drop or clear once the work is done.
- Appeal deadlines are short, usually 10 to 30 days.
- Unpaid blight fines can become a lien on the property.
Rental registration
Most Wayne County communities require landlords to register rentals and pass an inspection before tenants move in. Certificates usually last one to three years.
