121 Pages of Wayne County Foreclosures
From today's Detroit Free Press:
In 121 printed pages of the Sunday Free Press, Wayne County Treasurer Raymond Wojtowicz listed more than 18,000 properties across Wayne County facing foreclosure. Notices sent to homeowners since March have whittled the list from 161,000 properties that had been delinquent on tax payments.The advertisement will run the next two Sundays. The printed pages cost the county more than $400,000, and are required by law. It's just one more way the county tries to make sure property owners know that they're facing foreclosure.
In Oakland County, 8,300 properties are facing foreclosure because of delinquent taxes. At the end of December, the county will publish 19,757 names in the Observer/Eccentric newspapers of people who have had some sort of interest in the property over the years.
In Macomb County, 1,700 properties facing foreclosure will be published in the Macomb Daily on three consecutive Thursdays in December.
