How foreclosure and tax sales work in Michigan

General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.

Michigan mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by the county sheriff or a deputy (foreclosure by advertisement).

Michigan is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the county treasurer or the state sells the property itself at auction.

Tax-foreclosed property auctions are usually held in the summer and fall.
