View a sample reportMundy Township housing stock
Mundy Township has roughly 6,696 housing units and about 73% of them are single-family detached. Homes built in a single stretch tend to wear out in the same places at the same time. That is why when somewhere was built is the first thing worth knowing about it.
The busiest stretch of building here was the 1970s: 1,239 homes, about 19% of everything standing today.
The median owner-occupied home here is valued at $182,800. 88% are owner-occupied, which is high even for this area. There are around 168 manufactured and mobile homes in Mundy Township. Those are a different inspection — the questions are about the frame, the anchoring and the skirting rather than a basement.
None of this says anything about the specific house you are buying. It is the shortlist a Mundy Township home inspector works through in a home of this age, and every item on it gets photographed and written up whichever way it turns out.
Housing figures: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2022 five-year estimates.
When Mundy Township was built
86% of homes here run on utility gas, and 6 still heat with oil. If yours is one of them, the tank is the thing to ask about — where it is, and whether it was ever buried. Another 208 use bottled or LP gas.
Local knowledge
Mundy Township publishes something a buyer can actually use before making an offer: a sanitary sewer map and a public water map, both posted on the Building Department page alongside the zoning map, the fee schedule and the Master Plan.
That matters because both supplies exist here. The Township’s own utility billing names the split — a property on a private well is charged a flat-rate fee, while a property on public water pays a ready-to-serve charge on a metered, commodity basis. Sewer-only customers are billed a flat quarterly charge. So “is it on public water and sewer?” is a real question here, with a real answer you can look up.
The Township also posts a monthly list of the permits it has issued, and its Engineering Standards, amended in January 2026, in full. Between the maps and the standards, more of what governs a property here is in public view than in most municipalities we work in.
The housing is unusually evenly spread. Of about 6,696 units, 1,239 date from the 1970s, 1,198 from the 2000s, 1,078 from the 1960s and 1,037 from the 1990s, with no single decade above nineteen percent. Around 73% is single-family detached, which leaves more than a quarter of the stock in attached and multi-unit buildings — a higher share than most townships in this region.
Before you buy
Where the water goes
The Township Engineering Standards, published on the Building Department page, set out a hierarchy for sump pump and footing drain discharge that is clearer than most.
Discharge goes to an enclosed storm sewer system or a roadside ditch where one is available. Where one is not, the discharge must be accommodated on the property itself. And in no case may it discharge directly onto adjacent property, or into a street or road.
Each of those is something an inspection looks at. Where does the sump line actually go? Does it run to a ditch or a storm structure, does it terminate on the lot at a distance from the building, or does it stop a few feet from the foundation where the water simply finds the footing drains again and comes back? Does it cross onto the neighbor’s ground, or empty at the curb line where it freezes in January?
The standards are equally firm about the other direction: downspouts, foundation drains, weep tiles or any conduit carrying storm water or groundwater are not permitted to discharge into the sanitary sewer system. On an older house, a footing drain quietly tied into the sanitary line is one of the things that turns a heavy rain into a basement problem for somebody downstream.
One more line worth knowing: only one building may be served by one sewer lead. On a parcel with a second structure — a converted outbuilding, a guest house, a shop with a bathroom — how that structure is connected is a fair question to put to the Township.
What a buyer’s inspection covers here is the visible half of that system: accessible grading and how it falls away from the building, gutters and downspouts and where they discharge, foundation conditions, the basement or crawlspace, and sump equipment and its discharge line as far as it can be followed.
The utility account
The Township’s water and sewer page gives buyers a specific instruction most people never receive: when a home is sold, a final bill should be ordered and the account is transferred to the new owner — and new homeowners should verify that the name change and the final bill were actually attended to.
That is worth doing rather than assuming. Utility charges here are billed in arrears, so the bill that arrives after closing covers a period that may straddle the sale. Sorting out who owed what is far easier before the transfer than after.
The billing structure itself tells you something about the property. Water customers pay a monthly readiness fee based on meter size, from a 5/8 inch meter upward, plus a charge for each hundred cubic feet of metered use — which the Township helpfully notes equals 748 gallons. Properties on a private well pay a flat-rate fee instead, and sewer-only customers are billed a flat quarterly charge. So the shape of the bill is itself a clue to what the property is connected to, and confirming it against the published maps closes the question.
A few practical details from the same page: billing is quarterly and runs in three cycles — QA, QB and QC — assigned by where the property sits, so your neighbor across the township may be billed in different months. Meters are read remotely, so nobody comes to the door. Payment must be received by the 15th, and the Township has stopped accepting postmarks as proof of timeliness. A secondary irrigation meter is billed year-round at half the ready-to-serve charge. Residents 62 and over with a homestead exemption may qualify for a 10% discount under Ordinance 92-T. And after-hours emergencies go to Genesee County Water and Waste rather than the Township office — the billing FAQ sets out the cycles in full.
What was here before
The Engineering Standards contain a demolition requirement worth carrying into a viewing on any lot with history: demolition of structures and septic tanks requires complete removal of all foundations and footings, backfilled with compacted suitable soil that provides positive drainage.
Every part of that sentence is there for a reason. A foundation left in the ground and covered over is a hard shelf under the yard that water sits on and settlement finds. A septic tank left in place is a void. And backfill that was not compacted, or that does not drain away from the building, settles for years afterward — which shows up as a low spot, a sinking patio, or grading that has quietly reversed and now runs toward the house.
On a property where an old outbuilding, a former house, or a septic system was removed to make way for what is there now, asking what happened to it is a reasonable question. The Township sets the standard; whether it was met on a given parcel decades ago is a matter of record and of what the ground shows today.
The same standards require a soil erosion control permit for any earth disruption over 500 square feet, or within 500 feet of a lake or stream, or adjacent to any regulated wetland — a low threshold that catches most real landscaping projects. Sanitary systems here follow the standards of the Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Office of Water and Waste or the Health Department as applicable, and where Township road standards conflict with Genesee County Road Commission documents, the Building Department makes the final call.
On the building itself, what an inspection reports is the condition of what is there now: the roof, structure, foundation, drainage, electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing and the accessible interior, along with grading, settlement and any evidence that the ground around the building is not doing what it should.
The buried line
Where a property here is on the public system, the buried lead running from the building to the main is the one component no visual inspection reaches. The Township’s own standards say sanitary sewer must be located to provide unrestricted access for maintenance and inspection — which is an acknowledgment that the pipe needs looking at, not just burying.
On a 1960s house that pipe has been in the ground sixty years; on a 1970s house, fifty; on one from the 2000s, twenty-five, with the landscaping planted alongside it now fully grown. Any of those is long enough for roots to find a joint, for ground movement to displace a section, or for a repair to have been made that nobody now remembers. We will not name a material from a build year, because no authoritative source establishes what Mundy Township leads are generally made of.
On a property with a septic system — and the Township’s billing structure confirms plenty of properties here are not on public water, at least — the question is a different one, and belongs to a county evaluation rather than to us. We do not test water and we do not evaluate septic systems.
A sewer camera inspection records what is actually inside the line: roots, cracks, displaced joints, bellies or blockages where they exist, and a clear run where they do not. It is added to the same visit rather than booked separately. Alongside it, commercial building inspections follow the CCPIA standard for offices, retail, multifamily and warehouse property, and radon testing or mold inspection and testing can be added to a residential or commercial visit.

Questions
Mundy Township publishes both a sanitary sewer map and a public water map on its Building Department page, so you can check an address before making an offer. The utility billing is a second confirmation: properties on public water pay a metered ready-to-serve charge by meter size, while properties on a private well pay a flat-rate fee instead, and sewer-only customers are billed a flat quarterly charge.
The Township Engineering Standards set an order. Sump pumps and footing drains discharge to an enclosed storm sewer system or a roadside ditch where one is available; where one is not, the discharge must be accommodated on the property. It may never discharge directly onto adjacent property, or into a street or road. We follow the discharge line as far as it can be traced and report where it goes and whether it carries water away from the building or back to it.
No. The standards state that downspouts, foundation drains, weep tiles or any conduit carrying storm water or groundwater are not permitted to discharge into the sanitary sewer system. On an older house this is worth checking — a footing drain quietly tied into the sanitary line is one of the things that turns a heavy rain into somebody’s basement problem.
The Township is specific about this: when a home is sold, a final bill should be ordered and the account is transferred to the new owner, and new homeowners should verify that the name change and final bill were attended to. Charges are billed in arrears, so the first bill after closing may cover a period that straddles the sale. Sort it before the transfer rather than after.
It can. The Engineering Standards require that demolition of structures and septic tanks include complete removal of all foundations and footings, backfilled with compacted suitable soil providing positive drainage. A foundation left in the ground is a shelf water sits on; a tank left in place is a void; and backfill that was not compacted settles for years, which shows up as low spots and grading that has reversed toward the house.
Spread more evenly than most. Of about 6,696 housing units, 1,239 date from the 1970s, 1,198 from the 2000s, 1,078 from the 1960s and 1,037 from the 1990s, with no single decade above nineteen percent. Around 73% is single-family detached, leaving more than a quarter of the stock in attached and multi-unit buildings. In practice that means a wide range of construction eras and mechanical vintages within the same township.
Possibly. The Township requires a soil erosion control permit, or a waiver, for any earth disruption of more than 500 square feet, or within 500 feet of a lake or stream, or adjacent to any regulated wetland. That is a low threshold that catches most real landscaping and drainage projects. The Building Department is the place to confirm before you start.
If the property is on the public system, yes. The buried lead is the one component no visual inspection reaches, and on a 1960s or 1970s house it has been in the ground fifty to sixty years. We will not guess a material from a build year. Putting a camera down the line documents roots, cracks, displaced joints, bellies or blockages where they exist, and is added to the same appointment.
