Notes
Michigan tax deed foreclosure. Saginaw County Treasurer forecloses after multi-year delinquency and auctions fee-simple parcels via Title Check / Tax-Sale.info (2026 auction listing e.g. September 2, 2026 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. EDT on tax-sale.info). Unsold inventory often goes to Saginaw County Land Bank. County also participates in historic surplus-proceeds settlement processes for pre-2021 sales. Not a lien certificate sale.

Michigan state equalized value is 50% of true cash value by constitution (Mich. Const. art. IX, § 3); taxable value may be lower still. The SEV published with these auction listings is taken from the delinquent tax year that was foreclosed upon, so it is typically several years stale — in a rising market it understates current value, and in a falling one it overstates it.
