Understanding Property Tax Delinquency in Michigan

When property taxes go unpaid in Michigan, the property enters a delinquency process that can ultimately lead to tax foreclosure. Understanding this timeline is critical for property owners facing tax challenges.

Michigan's tax foreclosure process typically begins with a Notice of Intent to Foreclose sent to delinquent property owners. Property owners usually have an opportunity to pay delinquent taxes, enter a payment plan, or contest the assessment before the property goes to public auction.
