The Tax Reversion Law of 1999 overseen by the Alpena County Treasurer's Office includes various procedures such as delinquency, forfeiture, foreclosure, and land disposition. Under this law, properties with unpaid taxes enter a specific process. Initially, there is a delinquency phase where the property owner is notified of their overdue taxes. If these taxes remain unpaid, the property then moves into forfeiture, meaning the local government can potentially take control of the property. Following forfeiture, a foreclosure phase begins, leading to the legal transfer of the property from the owner to the county if payment is not made. Finally, once the county possesses the property, it is either sold, assigned, or otherwise disposed of according to local regulations. This sequence ensures that tax responsibilities are upheld and provides a clear process for handling properties with unpaid taxes.
