MIDLAND COUNTY, Mich. -- An entire subdivision that was left undeveloped and 12 other parcels are on the auction block as Midland County Treasurer Rick Enszer attempts to get these properties back on the tax rolls.

Enszer, for the fourth straight year, will serve as auctioneer for the County’s Foreclosure Sale, scheduled for Tuesday, July 22, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the atrium of the Midland County Services Building.

The subdivision, featuring 34 platted, specific lots in Birchwood Shores Subdivision in Hope Township, is packaged for sale as one purchase.

Minimum bid is $190,000. This subdivision is the same location of the spec home mentioned above that is available for viewing at the July 13 Open House.

Additional properties for sale include an L-shaped 1.99-acre lot in Lee Township requiring a minimum bid of $1,300; a little over 5 –acre lot with a trailer at 2655 E. Baker Road requiring a minimum bid of $3,700; a .58-acre parcel in Lee Township requiring a minimum bid of $2,200; and a vacant 10-acre parcel at 3142 S. Alamando requiring a minimum bid of $2,000.

Enszer said four other smaller lots with limited potential that would probably only be advantageous for adjacent property owners to purchase are also for sale.

The 2008 summer taxes are included in the minimum bid price.

Winter 2008 taxes are the responsibility of the purchaser. The highest bidder on each property will be awarded the property, as is.

Payment by cash, check or credit card is expected on the evening of the sale. Bank letters of credit may be accepted upon the Treasurer’s approval prior to the sale.

The County Treasurer’s Office does not guarantee accessibility, easement or building capabilities on the properties, which were foreclosed due to non-payment of 2005 and/or prior property taxes, Enszer said.

A list and photos of the properties for sale at this year’s auction are posted in the Treasurer’s Office at the County Services Building and can be viewed at the County’s Web site at at www.co.midland.mi.us/ and accessing the treasurer’s Web page.
