Where to obtain records
Leelanau County Treasurer / Delinquent Real Property Tax Records
Michigan Treasury official FGU/contact directoryContact the office for delinquent property tax records. This guide does not confirm an online search or current bill list.
How to find the information
The state FGU directory lists the county Treasurer at 8527 East Government Center Drive, Suite 104, Suttons Bay, with 231-256-9838. Ask for the existing delinquent-tax ledger, tax history or dated forfeiture/foreclosure records. Confirm the current county-endorsed search route and access charges directly before relying on an independently indexed service.
For an existing-record request, provide the parcel identifier, city/township/village, tax year and desired as-of date. Distinguish the county delinquent collection ledger from a current local bill, recorded forfeiture certificate, foreclosure petition/judgment, auction result or proceeds record. Ask whether special assessments, utility charges, later adjustments, interest, fees and recent payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges. An assessment, payment receipt or auction catalog does not certify the complete current unpaid balance.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Leelanau County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”
Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
County-specific notes
Contact status: the office and published request/contact route are confirmed; a current county-endorsed public unpaid-tax query or complete electronic report was not substantively confirmed. An access failure or sparse page does not mean records do not exist. Reviewed October 28, 2026. Dated notices and older statutory examples are not live balances or current parcel-specific deadlines. No taxpayer criteria, account creation, CAPTCHA completion, records-request submission, bidder registration or payment was performed. No taxpayer rows or owner-list attachments are included.
