Notes

Michigan tax-foreclosure deed county. Berrien County Treasurer sells foreclosed land online via tax-sale.info. County page still listed 2025 re-offer (Sept 26) and final/no-reserve (Oct 31) windows — confirm 2026 calendar on the Land Auction page and tax-sale.info before planning travel/funds. Foreclosure precedes sale (no owner post-sale redemption of the auction parcel). AS IS; research Lake Michigan flood, dunes, and septic carefully.

Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 29 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Michigan state equalized value is 50% of true cash value by constitution (Mich. Const. art. IX, § 3); taxable value may be lower still. The SEV published with these auction listings is taken from the delinquent tax year that was foreclosed upon, so it is typically several years stale — in a rising market it understates current value, and in a falling one it overstates it. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
