FILE - This undated file photo shows a home in Southfield, Mich., that was foreclosed and sold for $24,500 after the owner failed to pay taxes. A lawyer is warning that local governments in Michigan could face a financial calamity if forced to repay surplus cash from the sale of tax-foreclosed properties. The Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019, over a state law that allows treasurers to keep money left over after overdue property taxes are paid from a sale. Christina Martin, an attorney for two people in Oakland County, called it "stealing." (AP Photo/Ed White File)
