Attention Lenawee County

Was your Property Foreclosed and Sold at Auction?

You may be owed money but time is running out! Submit a Notice of Intent by March 31, 2025.

What is this About?

As a result of a Michigan Supreme Court decision, in Schafer v Kent County and Hathon v State of Michigan, counties are not allowed to keep profits from tax foreclosed properties so many people may be owed money.

Who is Eligible?

You may be entitled to any remaining proceeds from a foreclosure sale if you owned or had an ownership in interest in a property in Lenawee County, Michigan that was foreclosed and sold at auction before December 2020.

Remaining proceeds are proceeds left over, if any, after the total amount due to the foreclosing governmental unit (including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale) is paid.

How to Participate

If you want to be eligible to receive any remaining sale proceeds, you must submit a Notice of Intent to Claim Interest in Foreclosure Sales Proceeds (form 6156) no later than March 31, 2025.

How to Submit a Notice of Intent

Completed forms must be sent or delivered to:

Lenawee County Treasurer

Adrian, MI 49221

By Certified Mail or Hand Delivery
No later than March 31, 2025
