Tax Foreclosure Properties in Detroit: what to expect

Tax foreclosure properties in Detroit are homes and lots the county took for unpaid property taxes. In Wayne County, the County Treasurer offers them at auctions held in the fall: properties not sold in September move to the October auction. The minimum bid covers the delinquent taxes, penalties and interest, and the winning bidder receives a quit claim deed.

Everything is sold as is and where is, with no warranties. Many properties are vacant, some are occupied, and some need major repairs or demolition. Oakland and Macomb county treasurers run their own sales. Former owners may be able to claim remaining proceeds from a tax foreclosure sale through the county treasurer.

Compare Detroit investor services, get a home inspection where access allows, and talk to a tax lien attorney about title.

What a good engagement includes

  • Auction rules and registration requirements from the county treasurer
  • Drive-by or exterior inspection of each property
  • Research on occupancy, code violations and demolition orders
  • Title company review of what insurance they can offer
  • Budget for repairs, back water bills and utilities
  • A plan for occupants if the home is lived in

What drives the fee

  • Minimum bid based on taxes, penalties and interest
  • Competition at auction
  • Repairs, often without interior access
  • Occupancy and possible court eviction
  • Title work and extra steps to insure title
  • Water bills and code violations not wiped out by the sale

Rebuild Detroit does not publish fees. Ask each attorney to explain the fee basis in writing and compare.

Licensing and legal checks in Michigan

Wayne County sells tax foreclosed property as is, with no warranties, and conveys it by quit claim deed. The Treasurer advises buyers to research condition and do careful due diligence (see Wayne County Auctions and Claims).

Anyone offering to broker auction purchases for others for a fee may be subject to Michigan broker licensing (MCL 339.2501). If you are losing a home to tax foreclosure, contact the county treasurer right away.

How to compare attorneys

  1. Read the current auction rules on the county treasurer's site.
  2. Drive every property and check for occupancy.
  3. Check city records for violations and demolition orders.
  4. Ask a title company what it needs to insure title.
  5. Set a maximum bid that includes all repairs and holding costs.
