City of Coldwater, Michigan · Branch County offices
Find the right place to ask about property assessments, delinquent taxes, deeds, estate records, permits, transfer taxes, or a sale question. We buy houses as-is in the City of Coldwater, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
This page covers the City of Coldwater, not Coldwater Township. Branch County lists those as separate municipalities, and a Coldwater mailing address alone does not establish which municipality a property is in. Check the address against the Branch County municipality directory ↗.
Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address and your question.

Property value, current and delinquent taxes, recorded deeds, estate records, permits, and court judgments follow different routes. Use the office that handles the record or notice in front of you. The sections below also link local selling situations, a guide, articles, a market report, a calculator, and the selling process.
Useful offices
Assessment, delinquent taxes, deeds, and court records are different tasks. Bring the property address, parcel information, or current notice when you call. Confirm current hours and the correct office before visiting; these are office-routing references, not parcel-specific determinations.
Branch County · county assessment and equalization information

Official Branch County Building Department website ↗Michigan seller costs
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part. State and county exemptions are separate, and the property's county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes.
That closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate. Ask the title company to check the actual county rate, applicable exemptions, and settlement figures for the sale. For delinquent property taxes, contact the Branch County Treasurer; current taxes are routed to the local city, township, or village official.
