If it goes to the right property, and you still don't pay, you aren't using the property enough to be allowed to have it, IMO. That's what I'm saying. If you're only at that house every couple of years, why shouldn't the county take it and sell it to someone who will actually use it?
This all depends on how much of a warning you get and such. Obviously if you only get a month's warning or something that would be bad, but if you're warned a year or two in advance I see no problem with this.
Set up a system were you can go to court to challenge it. In cases where notices were sent to the wrong address or you simply forgot interest you should be able to overturn this, sure.

That's not how property ownership works in America.
- torstenvl 7y agoThat's exactly how property ownership works in America. Cf. adverse possession, in which a landowner who doesn't visit the property often enough to notice someone openly and notoriously using it without permission loses the right to do anything about it and it becomes the new person's property. (However, in Michigan, the term required to acquire title by adverse possession is 15 years.)
