  • Residential versus commercial or multi-unit property
  • Whether an appraisal or expert testimony is needed
  • Number of parcels and tax years in dispute

  • Filing fees, separate from the attorney fee
  • The age of the home: the typical Rochester home was built around 1983, so original parts may be near the end of their life

Before you hire in Rochester

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1983 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Michigan basements

Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.

Permits: check with the Rochester building department before work starts.
