Public auctions of more than 250 tax-foreclosed Michigan properties are getting underway.
The state Department of Treasury says the residential and commercial properties will be up for sale through Aug. 28.
They are in eight counties: Branch, Clinton, Iosco, Keweenaw, Livingston, Luce, Mecosta and Shiawassee.
They were foreclosed upon because of delinquent property tax payments.
Prospective buyers can bid for parcels online , or in person at designated sites on auction dates.
Officials say potential bidders are responsible for researching each property with the municipality where it's located.
