WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 23, 2026) 鈥� 网曝吃瓜 is disappointed by today鈥檚 at the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Michael Pung v. Isabella County, Michigan. This case asked what amount the government owes a property owner after a tax foreclosure and sale of the owner鈥檚 property. 网曝吃瓜 joined several other organizations in filing an amicus brief supporting Mr. Pung鈥檚 fair market value theory鈥攖hat the government must pay the difference between the property鈥檚 hypothetical fair market value and the amount of taxes owed. The Court rejected the fair market value theory and held that only the surplus proceeds from a sale are owed to the property owner.

鈥淭his decision will leave small business property owners vulnerable to receiving a less-than-fair amount of compensation for the true value of their property during tax foreclosures,鈥� said Beth Milito, Executive Director of 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 Small Business Legal Center. 鈥淏y holding that only the surplus proceeds from the sale are owed to the property owner, the Court鈥檚 decision permits local governments to artificially depreciate the value of a property in order to force a quick sale, which benefits the government鈥檚 coffers but deprives the property owner of the property鈥檚 real value.鈥�

To put the Court鈥檚 decision into perspective, consider a property with a fair market value of $100,000, $20,000 in property taxes owed, and a government quick-sale after foreclosure fetching $60,000. Today鈥檚 decision means that the government owes the property owner no more than $40,000. 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 brief argued that the property owner is entitled to the full $80,000.
