Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 211. Taxation of Real and Personal Property § 211.373

Sec. 3. Taxes and special assessments subsequently assessed upon property acquired by the public prior to the tax day shall be rejected by the state treasurer and shall be reassessed in the same manner as if the land or part of the land had not been sold at tax sale. In case a geographical part only of the land was owned by the public prior to the apparent vesting of title in this state as the result of tax sale proceedings, the remaining part of the land shall be disposed of by the department in the usual manner, and a division of the taxes and special assessments shall be made in the same manner as though the taxes had not yet become delinquent.
