Who is responsible for overseeing abandoned vehicle auctions?
 
Answer:

The requirements for disposing of abandoned vehicles through a public sale are found in MCL 257.252g. The law enforcement agency is responsible for disposing of the vehicle, including the public notice, auction and sale. However, a law enforcement agency may designate the custodian of the vehicle or a third party to conduct the auction.

The responsibility for checking a vehicle's status to see if it was stolen before it is offered for sale remains with law enforcement.
