County Sells Unwitting Buyer A Home At Tax Auction, City Demolishes It A Week Later

In Farmington Hills, Michigan, NBC Channel 24 reports:

• A Michigan woman is devastated after buying a home and seeing it demolished. Susan Tusk had purchased the home from Oakland County for $1,000 at a foreclosure auction last Wednesday. And she had the paperwork to prove it. When she showed up this weekend to do some work on it, Farmington Hills city workers were bulldozing the home.

• In July, city officials ordered that the owners of four foreclosed houses demolish their properties or the city would move in and do it. Tusk says she had plans to restore the home and live in it.
