MI HB5261

Requires county treasurers to send a second notice by certified mail to property owners when unpaid delinquent taxes are returned for forfeiture, no later than February 1 following the return date.

Notice must include the forfeiture date (month, day, and year), property legal description or parcel number, street address if available, amount of unpaid taxes with interest and penalties, and schedule of additional charges accruing on March 1.

Notice must inform recipients that legal interests in the property may be lost through forfeiture and foreclosure, and that redemption rights expire on March 31 following entry of an uncontested judgment.

Requires county treasurers to mail a copy of the notice by first-class mail to "occupant" if the certified notice was not sent to the property occupant.

Authorizes county treasurers to publish property addresses and owner names in newspapers in the county (or adjoining county if none available) for properties subject to forfeiture on the succeeding March 1.
