A: I suggest you contact Michigan's Step Forward program to see if they can help. The link is here: https://www.stepforwardmichigan.org/en/

You should also contact the Michigan Treasurer's office to see if they can point you in the right direction. You still may have redemption rights but tax foreclosure fees and levies are hefty.
