This document is a foreclosure notice sent to Con-Wal Inc. about unpaid property taxes on a property located at 630 N 6th St, Niles, MI. Here’s what it means in simple terms:

1. Why you got this notice:

   You didn’t pay property taxes for the year 2022, so the county is starting the process to take ownership of your property.

2. What you need to do:

   You must pay all the unpaid taxes, penalties, interest, and fees by March 31, 2025, or you will lose the property permanently.

3. How much do you owe:

   The exact amount isn’t listed here, but you can call the Berrien County Treasurer at (269) 983-7111, ext. 8569 to find out how much you need to pay.

4. Important deadlines:

   • **January 28, 2025, at 9:00 AM:**A hearing will be held where you can explain why the property shouldn’t be taken away.
   • **February 20, 2025, at 2:30 PM:**A court hearing will take place to officially decide whether the county will take ownership of your property.

5. What happens if you don’t pay:

   If you don’t pay everything by March 31, 2025, the county will take the property, and you will lose all rights to it.

   It’s likely that William O. Walters/Con-Wal Inc. was sent this notice because they either:

   1. Previously owned the property: If William O. Walters or Con-Wal Inc. sold the property to the current owner (Qihan Huang), their name might still be listed in the county’s records as having an interest in the property.
   2. Has a lien or legal interest: William Walters or Con-Wal Inc. might have a lien on the property, meaning they provided a loan or service that gives them a financial claim on it. Liens get notified during foreclosure since they can lose their claim if the property is sold.
   3. Error in the records: It’s also possible that the county didn’t update its records properly, so they sent the notice to the last known party (Con-Wal Inc.).

What Should William Do?

1. Call the Berrien County Treasurer’s Office:

   Ask why this notice was sent to Con-Wal Inc. and if there’s any recorded lien or legal interest in the property.

   Phone: (269) 983-7111, ext. 8569

2. Check for Recorded Liens:

   You can contact the Berrien County Register of Deeds and ask if Con-Wal Inc. has any lien on the property.
