SB 423 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property tax: delinquent taxes; sunsets on certain delinquent tax payment reduction and foreclosure avoidance programs; eliminate. Amends sec. 78g & 78q of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.78g & 211.78q).

SB 423 ends specific programs that helped homeowners pay overdue property taxes and avoid foreclosure. It directly affects property owners with delinquent taxes who previously could use these reduced payment options. The bill modifies existing law by setting expiration dates ("sunsetting") for these programs, meaning they will no longer be available after the specified dates. This change removes temporary relief measures, requiring affected homeowners to pay full delinquent taxes or face standard foreclosure processes.

What changed between versions

As Passed by the House Substitute (S-1) · 1 edit
MINOR
This is a technical substitute (S-1) that reformats the House-passed version of SB 423 into standard Senate formatting without making any substantive policy changes. The bill amends sections 78g and 78q of Michigan's General Property Tax Act to provide payment reduction programs, delinquent tax installment plans, and tax foreclosure avoidance agreements for financially distressed property owners. All provisions, amounts, dates, and thresholds remain identical between the two versions.
TECHNICAL

The bill was reformatted from House-passed layout into standard Senate substitute format, including reflowed line breaks, added page headers (JHM S03064'25 (S-1)), and capitalization changes to the title block. No substantive policy language was altered.
