Behind on property taxes in Michigan?
You still have options.
If you’re struggling with delinquent property taxes or facing tax foreclosure in Michigan, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of time. Many homeowners don’t realize they can sell their house before the county takes it, which can stop foreclosure, protect equity, and put money back in your pocket.

Zion REI buys homes with unpaid property taxes anywhere in Michigan — fast, as-is, and with no judgment.
Michigan property tax foreclosure help
Every year, thousands of Michigan homeowners fall behind on property taxes due to financial hardship, medical issues, job loss, rising costs, or unexpected life changes. Once taxes become delinquent, the county begins adding fees, penalties, and interest — and eventually moves toward foreclosure.
The good news?
You can still sell your home and stop Michigan tax foreclosure before the county takes ownership.
We help homeowners in situations like:
- Delinquent or unpaid property taxes
- Property in forfeiture (after March 1 in Michigan)
- Property approaching tax foreclosure
- Foreclosure sale scheduled
- Vacant homes with old tax debt
- Inherited properties with large tax balances
- Houses needing major repairs or updates
Whatever your situation, we’ll walk you through your options clearly and respectfully.
How to stop tax foreclosure in Michigan by selling your home
Michigan tax foreclosure follows a strict timeline. Selling before the deadline protects your credit and equity. Here’s how we help you:
We review your Michigan tax status
Michigan’s tax process moves through delinquency → forfeiture → foreclosure.
We’ll explain exactly where you are in that timeline and how much time remains before the county takes title.
Common Michigan deadlines include:
- March 1: Property is forfeited to the county treasurer.
- Following March 31: Property is foreclosed unless taxes are paid or redeemed.
We’ll walk you through what that means for your specific county.

We buy homes exactly as-is — even if they need major repairs or haven’t been lived in recently.
