If there are any discrepancies between this set of terms and conditions and the set listed for a specific auction, the locally mandated floor rules supercede these rules. PLEASE COPY AND PRINT THIS SCREEN. You are agreeing to these terms--please read and understand them. These are properties that have been foreclosed by the County Treasurer. Title Check, LLC is acting as the authorized representative of the Treasurer pursuant to a contract which is authorized by Michigan law. BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU BID ON. YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING CONTRACT. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR BID CANCELLATIONS! This property has NOT been visually inspected by Title Check, LLC or the County Treasurer. Any photos, information, comments, maps or notations presented (other than the legal description) are NOT guaranteed to be correct, but are accurate to the best of our knowledge. The information you will find on http://www.tax-sale.info is ALL of the information we have available on these parcels. We have not inspected these parcels. If you have interest in a parcel we STRONGLY suggest either making your own inspection or contacting a local inspection service. The low bid estimate displayed on eBay is the starting (minimum) bid as required under Michigan law, if one applies. The high bid estimate is the SEV. The SEV (State Equalized Value) is not a definite indicator of actual market value and should not be the sole criteria used when evaluating potential purchases. Do so at your own risk. Title Check, LLC is not responsible for incorrect County assessments. The properties are sold by their legal description only.. Be sure to read and understand it. The presence of an address for a parcel does NOT assure there is a building on it. A photo which appears to include improvements may NOT be accurate. Our property inspectors are NOT surveyors and we CANNOT guarantee any information other than the legal description and parcel ID number provided. You can usually get information on parcels by contacting the local assessor. Parcels which are platted (subdivided) have maps which can be seen here. Purchasers receive a Quit Claim deed. Contact Title Check, LLC (269) 226-2600 to purchase title insurance. Severed mineral rights are not tax foreclosed and are not included with the lands sold. 1.

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. 9. Possession of Property 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. 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. 10. Conditions 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. 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. 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. 11. Deeds 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. 12. Property Taxes All property taxes that became due and payable after March 31 of this calendar year will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
