Judgment of foreclosure is the primary title-clearing step; some insurers still want quiet title or extended review for tax-foreclosed parcels.
Michigan tax-deed (foreclosure) county under MCL 211.78. Montcalm County Treasurer (FGU) forecloses for unpaid taxes; public online auction via Title Check, LLC on tax-sale.info. 2025 auction cycle completed as of research; unsold parcels may remain available via Title Check (1-800-259-7470). Surplus proceeds claims under MCL 211.78t use Form 5743 Notice of Intention (July 1 deadline in year of foreclosure). Circuit court judgment of foreclosure precedes auction — buyer receives deed interest, not a redeemable lien certificate. Greenville / Stanton / Lakeview market (west Michigan agri-industrial).
Inherited from Michigan rather than researched for Montcalm: type, redemption, returns, statute.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — 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. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
