Today, March 31, is the deadline for property taxes to be paid on 62,000 Detroit homes else they will be owned by the county, in this case the County of Wayne, Michigan.
Granted only 18,000 of the delinquent homes are occupied but assuming a three-person household that’s about 8 percent of the city’s population which is now down to 688,701. In 1950, it was touching 2 million and Detroit was considered one of the world’s great cities.
That's kinda like one of those good news/bad news things.
The bad news is you have lost your home. The good news is the home was in Detroit and now you are free to move.
