Tips for Buyers

• Understand riparian rights. Michigan waterfront ("riparian") owners generally have rights to dock and reach the water (EGLE inland lakes guide). "Lake privileges" or a shared lot is different, so read the deed and any easement.
• Know the local rules. I'll check Green Oak Township zoning, association rules, and any dock or shoreline rules for the specific parcel.
• Seawalls and permanent docks generally need an EGLE permit, while seasonal docks usually don't (EGLE dock handout). Ask for permit records.
• Confirm sewer or septic and well, and schedule inspections for any private system.
• Check the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get a flood insurance quote early.
• I didn't find a published lake association or lake special assessment for Inchwagh Lake. The lake weed projects posted by Green Oak Township special projects are for Briggs Lake and Whitmore Lake. I'll confirm any dues or assessments on the parcel in writing.
• Taxable value generally "uncaps" after a sale (MCL 211.27a), so don't budget off the seller's tax bill.
• Ask the seller about water depth at the dock and any seasonal weed growth, since I didn't find a published lake survey summary to point you to.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the size of the lake and how close it is to South Lyon.
• Say "Inchwagh Lake, Green Oak Township, South Lyon" so buyers searching locally find you.
• Have survey, dock and well, septic or sewer details ready.
