Start here
Assessment and tax-roll questions, City bills, Mason County delinquent taxes, recorded deeds, probate files, and permit questions have different starting points. Check the property address and the notice or record in front of you; a Ludington mailing address alone does not establish a parcel's City or county permit jurisdiction.

Local offices
Use the office that matches the task: the City Assessing Office handles assessment and tax-roll questions; the City Treasurer handles City amounts; Mason County handles delinquent property-tax information; and the Register of Deeds handles recorded land documents. Probate files and permits follow separate routes.
City of Ludington · assessment and tax-roll questions
Use the Assessing Office for City assessment and tax-roll inquiries. Assessment information is a different task from paying a City bill, checking delinquent property taxes, finding a recorded deed, or looking up a court case.
400 S Harrison Street, Ludington, MI 49431 · 231-843-2956.
City of Ludington · City bills and special assessments
Contact the City Treasurer about City tax bills, water bills, special assessments, and other amounts owed to the City. This is separate from Mason County delinquent-property-tax information.
400 S Harrison Street, Ludington, MI 49431 · 231-845-6237.
Mason County · delinquent property-tax and foreclosure information
Use the County Treasurer for Mason County delinquent-tax and foreclosure information. City information also directs delinquent-property-tax questions to Mason County; a City tax bill or water bill is a different account.
304 E Ludington Avenue, Suite 104, Ludington, MI 49431-2121. The City lists 231-843-8411 for delinquent-tax questions directed to Mason County.
Mason County · recorded deeds and land-document inquiries
Use the Register of Deeds for recorded ownership documents, deeds, and other land-record inquiries. A deed record is not an assessment, a tax balance, or a court judgment.
304 E Ludington Avenue, Suite 101, Ludington, MI 49431 · 231-843-4466.
Mason County · probate information and case access
For an estate or probate matter, use the Probate Court information and case-access route. Probate case records are different from recorded deeds, tax accounts, and other court records.
304 East Ludington Avenue, Ludington, MI 49431-2121 · 231-843-8666.
City limits · construction and site-work permits, inspections, and property-maintenance-code contact
For a property inside Ludington city limits, contact the City Building Department about construction or site-work permits, inspections, and property-maintenance-code questions. A Ludington mailing address by itself does not establish City jurisdiction.
400 S Harrison Street, Ludington, MI 49431 · 231-843-2956.
Mason County · electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permit routing
Mason County describes countywide electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permit routing and lists Ludington separately from other jurisdictions. Confirm which office applies to the specific parcel rather than relying only on its mailing address.
Michigan selling cost
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At that county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the property's county, sale value, and any exemption for the actual transaction.
State law generally makes the seller responsible for the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the transaction-specific figures and any exemption.
