Additional Information</div><div class="bodyText">
Public Act 123 of 1999 dramatically reformed the method by which Michigan County Governments manage tax-delinquent real-estate.
Under prior law, liens on parcels were offered to private investors at the annual May tax sale. Property owners were then subject to foreclosure of these liens and ultimately the loss of their property. Those property liens not purchased by private investors (usually the less desirable properties) ultimately reverted directly to the State of Michigan, which processed them and sold them at regional 'scavenger sales' held by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Under the new law, the sale of liens has been replaced by direct foreclosure to the County Treasurer, or to the State of Michigan if the County 'opts out' of participating in the process. The properties are then sold by deed at auction. For investors and buyers this system eliminates the uncertainty of predicting which property owners will redeem their parcels from lien sale. At the new land auctions the high bidder is awarded a deed to the parcel, and all of the previous complications involving tax lien foreclosure are removed.

<BR> 8. Special Assessments
<BR>Special assessments through tax year 2003 are included in the starting bids. We have identified those parcels with known special assessments with a note on the parcel detail page. All bidders should contact city or township offices to determine if there are any outstanding bonded assessments for future tax years on the properties being offered.
<BR>
<BR> 9. Possession of Property
<BR>We recommend that no purchaser take physical possession of any property bid upon at this sale until a deed has been executed and delivered to the purchaser. No activities should be conducted on the site other than a baseline environmental assessment to contaminated properties.
<BR>
<BR>However, steps should be taken to protect your equity in this property by securing vacant structures against entry and obtaining (homeowners) insurance for occupied property. Buyers will be responsible for all procedures and legal requirements for conducting evictions. Additionally, buyers are responsible for contacting local units of government to prevent possible demolition of structures situated on parcels.
<BR>
<BR>10. Conditions
<BR>The purchaser accepts the premises in its present "as is" condition, and releases the County Treasurer and employees and agents from all liability whatsoever arising from any condition of the premises, whether now known or subsequently discovered, including but not limited to all claims based on environmental contamination of the premises.
<BR>
<BR>A person who acquires property that is contaminated (a "facility" pursuant to Section 20201(1)(1) of Natural Resources and Environmental Act (NREPA), 1994 P.A. 451, as amended) as a result of release(s) of a hazardous substance(s) may become liable for all costs of cleaning up the property and any other properties impacted by the release(s). Liability may be imposed upon the person acquiring the property even in the absence of any personal responsibility for, or knowledge of, the release. Protection from such liability may be obtained by conducting a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) as provided for under Section 20126(1) (c) of NREPA. However, the BEA must be conducted prior to or within 45 days of the earliest date of purchase or occupancy of the property. Persons who acquire contaminated property may have "due care" obligations under Section 20107a of NREPA even if they conduct a BEA and are not liable for the contamination.
<BR>
<BR>Pursuant to part 201 of NREPA, the person(s) responsible for an activity causing a release at the property is obligated to pursue response activities at the property. Consequently, the non-liable purchaser may be required to provide access to the liable party to conduct response activities at the property in the future. Section 20116 of the NREPA requires that a person who has knowledge that their property is contaminated provide a written notice to the purchaser or other person to whom the property is transferred which discloses the general nature and extent of the release. Additional disclosure obligations may also apply at the time the property, or an interest in the property, is transferred. Accordingly, the County Treasurer recommends that a person who is interested in acquiring surplus County property contact an attorney or an environmental consultant for advice prior to the acquisition of any surplus County property that may be contaminated.
<BR>
<BR>11. Deeds
<BR>Deeds will be executed within 30 days. It will be the responsibility of the County Treasurer to record the deeds and remit them to the purchaser after completion of recording by the Register of Deeds.
<BR>
<BR>12. Property Taxes
<BR>All property taxes that became due and payable after March 31 of this calendar year will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
