Lot size is the first thing to settle for single-family home moving in Brighton. Genoa Township's plan describes its most common residential land as lots over a quarter acre and up to 19 acres. In the city, detached homes made up 42 percent of housing units in 2015.
On a bigger lot, we would check the driveway's width, surface, and slope, low branches, and whether a truck can turn around. If it cannot, the crew carries farther, and that changes how much time we schedule.
Gravel, thaw, and private roads
Brighton Township's road map splits its public roads into paved and gravel, and its pathways plan reported no plans at the time to pave the gravel ones. Spring adds a wrinkle. MDOT notes that county road commissions set their own seasonal weight restrictions, which usually line up with the state's, and signs generally mark the affected routes.
So for a March or April move on gravel, we would check for postings and pick the truck with that in mind. If you are not sure who owns your road, the Road Commission's Access Name Inventory can tell you.
Paperwork, wells, and the whole house
A new house comes with a short to-do list. Both townships want a Property Transfer Affidavit filed no more than 45 days after closing. Genoa's new resident guide adds that the county no longer tests wells and lists local labs that do.
Inside, the plan covers every space, from the kitchen to the attic. Workshop equipment, yard tools, heavy appliances, and king-size bed frames all get wrapped, padded, and secured. At the new place, furniture goes in the right rooms and beds get put back together, with boxes staged where they belong.
