Under Public Act 123 of 1999, as amended (Act 123), it is the policy of the Wayne County Treasurer to withhold residential property from the 2009 petition for foreclosure that is owned by a person undergoing substantial financial hardship.
This policy applies to all residential properties for which the Treasurer is charged with the statutory responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes.
