Some people don’t have car payments or morgages. Maybe all she had was an electricity bill and a water bill and that is the reason her money in the bank held out so long.

I believe that Michigan townships send the peasants semi-annual property taxes rent bills. Doesn't matter if the peasant "owns" the property free & clear with no mortgage. The local governmental unit still owns it.

You get two years in unpaid taxes rent, then the local governmental unit forecloses on its property, and sells it within the third year. Odd that they didn't steal this woman's house sooner.

We pay property taxes too.
