Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Foreclosure avoidance agreements remain available for homeowners
Effective immediately, the law removes the June 30, 2026 deadline for Michigan county treasurers to make tax foreclosure avoidance agreements. Treasurers can continue offering these agreements for eligible residential property returned as delinquent or forfeited to the county treasurer. Owners must make an initial payment toward overdue taxes, with the amount set by the treasurer. An agreement is not guaranteed.
Permanent overdue property tax relief for homeowners
Effective immediately, the law removes the July 1, 2025 cutoff for Michigan's overdue property-tax payment reductions. Relief remains optional and requires local participation. Unpaid delinquent taxes must exceed 10% of the property's prior-year taxable value. One option limits the amount due to 10% of taxable value; it requires a section 7u exemption and no previous reduction. Relief can also cancel specified charges, interest, penalties, and fees. An additional discount can reach 10% of unpaid delinquent taxes for a lump-sum payment made by the local deadline. The reduced balance must be payable within 3 years. In counties above 1,500,000 residents, cities, townships, and villages participate unless they give written notice declining within 21 days. Elsewhere, participation requires a governing-body resolution and written notice within 21 days.
