  • Fee structure: hourly, flat fee, or contingency on tax savings where allowed
  • Residential versus commercial or multi-unit property
  • Whether an appraisal or expert testimony is needed
  • Number of parcels and tax years in dispute

  • The age of the home: the typical Harper Woods home was built around 1955, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Harper Woods

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Harper Woods was built around 1955. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

73% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Harper Woods building department before work starts.
