Options If You're Behind on Property Taxes in Michigan

The right path depends on timing, equity, liens, and your goals. Learn about the options available to Michigan homeowners facing tax delinquency.

1

Catch Up and Keep the Property

If you have available resources and want to stay in your home, catching up on delinquent taxes may be an option. This typically involves paying all back taxes, penalties, and interest in full. The exact amount and timeline depend on your county's requirements. We can help you understand what's required in your specific situation.

2

Structured Private Resolution

In qualifying cases, we may be able to cover a portion (or all) of your delinquent property taxes as part of a written agreement. This structured approach allows you to resolve the tax delinquency while potentially preserving your equity and avoiding a last-minute county outcome. Each situation is reviewed individually to determine eligibility.

Not all properties qualify. Written agreements outline all terms and conditions.

3

Sell Before Auction

Selling your property before auction may allow you to preserve any remaining equity. The earlier you act, the more control you may have over the outcome. We can provide a cash offer that accounts for the tax delinquency, allowing for a clean close without you having to come out of pocket for the back taxes.

Timing matters. Acting before the county enters judgment may preserve more options.

4

Planned Transition

Sometimes the best path forward is a clear, planned transition. Rather than waiting for a last-minute outcome from the county, you can work with us to create a structured timeline that works for your situation. This approach reduces stress and allows for a more orderly transition with a known outcome.

A planned approach gives you control over timing and outcome.

Not all properties qualify. Every case is reviewed individually.
