Possession of Property The Sanilac County Treasurer recommends that no purchaser take physical possession of any property bid upon at this auction until a deed has been executed and delivered to the purchaser. Purchasers should be aware that if there are inhabitants of the property, it will be the purchaser s responsibility to evict or negotiate rental agreements and the County of Sanilac, its officer, employees, and agents, are unable to assist in this process. No activities should be conducted on the site other than a baseline environmental assessment for contaminated properties.

Additionally, buyers are responsible for contacting local units of government to prevent possible demolition of structures situated on parcels. 6

7 Conditions The purchaser accepts the premises in its present as is condition, and releases the Sanilac County Treasurer and the County of Sanilac and its officers, employees and agents from all liability whatsoever arising from any condition of the premises, whether now known or subsequently discovered, including but not limited to all claims based on environmental contamination of the premises. A person who acquires property that is contaminated (a facility pursuant to Section 20101(1)(1) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), 1994, P.A. 451, as amended) as a result of release(s) of a hazardous substance(s) may become liable for all costs of cleaning up the property and any other properties impacted by the release(s). Liability may be imposed upon the person acquiring the property even in the absence of any personal responsibility for, or knowledge of, the release. Protection from such liability may be obtained by conducting a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) as provided for under Section 20126(1)(c) of NREPA. However, the BEA must be conducted prior to or within 45 days of the earliest date of purchase or occupancy of the property. Persons who acquire contaminated property may have due care obligations under Section 20107a of NREPA even if they conduct a BEA and are not liable for the contamination. Pursuant to Part 201 of the NREPA, the person(s) responsible for an activity causing a release at the property is obligated to pursue response activities on the property. Consequently, the non-liable purchaser may be required to provide access to a liable party to conduct response activities at the property in the future. Section of the NREPA requires that a person who has knowledge that their property is contaminated provide a written notice to the purchaser or other person to whom the property is transferred who discloses the general nature and extent of the release. Additional disclosure obligations may also apply at the time the property, or an interest in the property, is transferred. Accordingly, the County of Sanilac recommends that a person who is interested in acquiring surplus County property contact an attorney or an environmental consultant for advice prior to the acquisition of any surplus County property that may be contaminated. You may contact the Department of Environmental Quality, Saginaw Bay District at (989) for possible information regarding questions on environmental concerns on any of these properties. Property Taxes All property taxes which become due and payable after March 31, 2018, will be the responsibility of the purchaser, which include the Summer, Village (if property is within village limits) and Winter 2018 taxes. A copy of the 2018 Summer and Village (if property is within village limits) bill will be given to the individual at time of purchase. The 2018 Winter bill is normally mailed out by the local townships the beginning of December. If a Winter tax bill is not received by mid-december, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to contact the local treasurer! **Successful high bidders must provide the Sanilac County Treasurer with proof of payment of 2018 Summer and Village (if applicable) taxes paid to the local unit, within 21 days of sale. Failure to provide timely submission of proof of payment will result in the cancellation of sale, banning from all future foreclosure auctions, and the property may be offered to other bidders!** 7

Deeds Deeds will be executed by the Sanilac County Treasurer and recorded with the Sanilac County Register of Deeds within 6 weeks of auction.
