What should sellers in Milford know?
Rental registration and inspections
Milford requires annual rental registration ($50 per unit) and inspects rentals on a four-year rotation by ward (Ward 3 in 2026) under the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code, with fines up to $1,000 a day. Landlords facing inspection repairs can sell to us as-is.
Transfer tax
Milford levies a 1.5% local transfer tax on top of the state's 2.5% (4% total). The city waives its share when every buyer is a first-time homebuyer. When Silverside buys your house, we pay all closing costs, including your share of the transfer tax.
Property taxes
The city rate is $0.60 per $100 of assessed value for FY2025–26 and $0.61 for FY2026–27. Late taxes accrue 1% per month.
Older homes by the river
Milford's historic core has older homes that may need significant updates. We price the repairs in so you don't have to do them.
