Judgment of foreclosure is the primary title-clearing step; some insurers still want quiet title or extended review for tax-foreclosed parcels, especially occupied inventory near Lansing.
Michigan tax-deed (circuit court foreclosure) county — foreclosure precedes auction; no post-sale owner redemption of the auction parcel. Clinton County (St. Johns / Lansing metro north) elected the State of Michigan as the Foreclosing Governmental Unit (FGU), not the county treasurer and not a pure county-run tax-sale.info stack in isolation. County timeline for the 2023-tax cycle: Circuit Court judgment Feb 1–28, 2026; clear title to the State Mar 31, 2026; public auction window July / November 2026. State Treasury and Title Check / tax-sale.info list Clinton with other Southern Central Lower Peninsula parcels (e.g. Aug 7, 2026 online auction catalog window listed on tax-sale.info). Surplus/leftover-proceeds Form 5743 claims due July 1 immediately after foreclosure year. Sold AS IS after judgment of foreclosure under MCL 211.78 et seq.
Inherited from Michigan rather than researched for Clinton: 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.
