Environmental Guidebook for Property Owners

 
Environmental Guidebook for Property Owners
 
This publication is designed to address the environmental concerns associated with real estate transactions.  It is directed to both the buyers and sellers of property used for residential or small commercial purposes.  While it focuses more sharply on helping buyers avoid problems, the seller's perspective and responsibilities are also discussed.  The Guidebook is designed to assist the property owner who wants to be a better steward of the land; protecting not only the value of the property but also the beautiful natural resources of northwest Michigan.
 
The authors of the Guidbeook have done their best to provide useful and accurate information on the various topics covered.  However, you should be aware that new laws and procedures are being developed all the time and existing laws are subject to differing interpretations.  This booklet is no substitute for the advice of a competent expert in the field.  Because of its size and format, this booklet simplifies complicated laws and complex scientific issues.  If environmental or natural resource issues are involved, rely on the experts.
