1st Auction
REGISTRATION Pre-registration is available at www.BippusUSA.com. Bidders are strongly encouraged to pre register. The sale will not be delayed to accommodate on-site registrants. On-site registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the sale will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. No bids will be accepted unless the bidder has registered and received a pre-numbered bid card. A valid driver’s license or other photo ID may be required to register. Bidders will be required to show $2,000.00 in cash or certified funds to be able to receive a bidder card at the Ingham County Treasurer’s Auction. (Checks should be made payable to yourself, if you are not a successful bidder at the auction you will then be able to redeposit the funds back into your account, if you are a successful bidder you will then sign the check over to us as payment towards your purchase.) There are no exceptions to this rule. For winning bidders, the $2,000.00 buy in will go towards the required deposit (See “Terms of Sale” pg.4). If you are not a successful bidder the $2,000.00 buy in will be returned to you before you leave. No individual or entity directly or indirectly holding more than a de minimus interest in any property currently owing delinquent real property taxes to the Treasurer or that is red-tagged with a local unit for any ordinance violations will be allowed to register. This includes entities whose owners and/or members owe delinquent real property taxes to the Treasurer. Furthermore, if the Treasurer discovers, after the transfer of property referenced above, that an individual, entity or entity whose owners and/or managers owe delinquent real property taxes to the Treasurer or has red-tagged properties has purchased real property from this auction, the Treasurer has the right to rescind the sale of any property sold to said individuals, entities and entities whose owners and/or members owe delinquent real property taxes to the Treasurer with no recourse, remedy and/or damages available to the purchaser. You will be responsible for all purchases made under your registration and will be required to sign that you have read and understood the rules and regulations of the Ingham County Treasurer Land Sale Auction at the time of registration.

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.
Often still used for marketable title insurance comfort even after tax deed, especially with code or notice issues.
Michigan tax deed / foreclosure auction county (not a lien certificate sale). After multi-year delinquency and circuit court judgment of foreclosure (typically March), title vests in County Treasurer who auctions fee-simple parcels. Ingham is one of few MI counties still using live in-person auctions (with Bippus). 2026 first auction: Wednesday August 26, 2026, 10:00 a.m., Lansing Center. Properties often blighted; open houses and code packets published. Treasurer may cancel any sale anytime under MCL 211.78m(2).
Inherited from Michigan rather than researched for Ingham: type, redemption, returns, statute.
