ECT09082017 (REV. 05-02-2022)

Purchaser may also be subject to other rules and regulations under Part 201 of the NREPA.

PROPERTY TAXES The new owner will be responsible for the current year summer and winter taxes including any penalties and fees that become due and payable since the foreclosure hearing circuit court date without any prorating to the seller. (This includes all property taxes that became due and payable after February 14, 2022). The 2022 July summer bill must be paid before a deed can be issued to the buyer. After paying for their purchase(s) with the auction company, the buyer can pay the 2022 summer taxes at the township or city in which the property is located. The village will collect village taxes until September 14, 2022. After September 14, 2022, the county treasurer will collect village taxes. All property taxes that become due and payable after the foreclosure will be the responsibility of the purchaser. POSSESSION OF PROPERTY We recommend that no purchaser take physical possession of any property upon sale until a deed has been executed and delivered to the purchaser. No activities should be conducted on the site other than a baseline environmental assessment for properties characterized as a “facility” pursuant to Part 201 of NREPA. Steps should be taken, however, to protect your equity in this property by securing vacant structures against entry and obtaining insurance for occupied property. Buyers will be responsible for all procedures and legal requirements for conducting evictions. Additionally, buyers are responsible for contacting local units of government to prevent possible demolition of structures situated on parcels . CONDITIONS The purchaser accepts the premises in its present “as is” condition, and releases the Treasurer , Eaton County, and employees and agents from all liability whatsoever arising from any condition of the premises, whether now known or subsequently discovered, including but not limited to all claims based on environmental contamination of the premises. A person who acquires property that is contaminated (a “facility” pursuant to Section 20101(1)(1) of the NREPA, 1994 PA 451, as amended) as a result of release(s) of a hazardous substance(s) may become liable for all costs of cleaning up the property and any other properties impacted by the release(s). Liability may be imposed upon the person acquiring the property even in the absence of any personal responsibility for, or knowledge of, the release. Protection from such liability may be obtained by conducting a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) as provided for under Section 20126(1)(c) of NREPA. However, the BEA must be conducted prior to or

9

ECT09082017 (REV. 05-02-2022)

within 45 days of the earliest date of purchase or occupancy of the property. Persons who acquire contaminated property may have “due care” obligations under Section 20107a of NREPA even if they conduct a BEA and are not liable for the contamination. Pursuant to Part 201 of the NREPA, the person(s) responsible for an activity causing a release at the property is obligated to pursue response activities at the property. Consequently, the non-liable purchaser may be required to provide access to a liable party to conduct response activities at the property in the future. Section 20116 of the NREPA requires that a person who has knowledge that their property is contaminated to provide a written notice to the purchaser or other person to whom the property is transferred which discloses the general nature and extent of the release. The Treasurer will identify the parcels offered for sale at this public land sale auction which have known contamination. Additional disclosure obligations may also apply at the time the property, or an interest in the property, is transferred. Accordingly, it is recommended that a person who is interested in acquiring property through this sale contact an attorney or an environmental consultant for advice prior to the acquisition of any property that may be contaminated.

You may contact the Environmental Assistance Center at 1-800-662-9278 for possible information regarding questions to environmental concerns on any of these properties.

Auction - Frequently Asked Auction Questions (FAQ)

1. If I purchase a piece of property at auction, do I receive a deed or a tax lien to the property?

If you are the successful bidder at auction you will receive a Quit Claim Deed to the property. You do become the actual owner/title holder of the property and not a lien holder.

2. When do I receive my deed to the property?

The Treasurer will execute a Quit Claim Deed to the new owner of the property within 30 days of the auction. The deed will then be recorded at the Eaton County Register of Deeds and mailed to the owner.

3. Are all existing liens against the property “wiped out”?

Yes, all liens with the exception of Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) liens and specific IRS liens are extinguished. You own fee simple title to the property free and clear of all other pre-existing liens. In the rare case that there is a DEQ lien on a piece of property, you will need to contact the DEQ to see how it will affect you as the new owner. The Treasurer’s Office will make known any DEQ or IRS liens that we are aware of prior to the sale of the property.

4. Am I responsible for any existing delinquent taxes on the property?

No, you are only responsible for taxes which become due and payable the same year as the auction and all subsequent years. For example, if you purchase a piece of property at a 2022 auction, you would be responsible for paying the 2022 Summer and Winter bills for that property and then all future years. There is a State statute requiring you to pay the 2022 Summer bill and provide a receipt to the Eaton County Treasurer’s Office in order for the deed to be executed.

5. Can I visit at or inspect the property before auction?

No, due to safety and liability issues you are not permitted to go into or onto any of the properties prior to auction. Doing so could subject you to trespassing charges.

6. How can I find out about the condition of the properties offered if I cannot go onto the properties?

Please remember that you are purchasing these properties “as is, where is . ” Neither the County Treasurer nor their staff has actually gone into any of these properties. You will need to

Revised 5-2-22

do your research. We recommend researching zoning issues, building issues, and what is currently being assessed on the property by contacting the respective city or township officials where the property is located. These officials’ phone numbers can be found in the County Directory, which is located on the Eaton County website’s homepage at www.eaton county.org.

7. Did I buy everything on the property?

No, you only buy the real property. Real property is generally defined as the land, anything that is attached to the land, and all structures assessed as being part of the real property.

8. When do I take possession of the property?

It is recommended that you do not take possession or make improvements on the property until you have your deed in hand. If you purchased a piece of property with a habitable structure on it, it is recommended that you execute an eviction through District Court to ensure you do not have any tenant problems. People currently living in any of these properties have rights that you should terminate through court.

9. Do I get the mineral rights to the property?

You receive any mineral rights that existed with the property at the time of foreclosure. If the foreclosed property owner had all of the mineral rights then they transfer with the real property to you. If the mineral rights had already been deeded away, then you do not receive any. Any oil and gas leases already in effect will remain valid and in effect. If the mineral rights are a concern for you, you will have to conduct in-depth search.

10. If I purchase a property with a mobile home on it, do I receive a title to the mobile home? NO.

11. Can I obtain Title Insurance on this property?

Title insurance companies may or may not be willing to issue title insurance on your purchased property. While State statute says you receive “good and marketable fee-simple title to the property, ” you may find that some of your local title companies are still not comfortable with insuring these tax-foreclosed parcels unless you first execute a quiet title action in court.

12. Can I purchase a piece of property that I originally had an interest in?

Only if you obtain previous approval from the County Treasurer, do not have delinquent taxes on any other property in Eaton County, and pay the minimum bid or higher at auction. This applies to any second offering as well.
