You have 20 days from the date of the notice sent by the Secretary of State to redeem your vehicle by paying the towing, storage and abandoned vehicle fees to the custodian. Some municipalities may also require you to pay additional fines or fees.

Your Notice Of Abandoned Vehicle form (TR-52E) tells you where your vehicle is located. You may also check the Michigan Auto Lost & Found Web site and enter your VIN or plate number. You may be required to show proof of ownership before redeeming the vehicle.

If you do not redeem the vehicle or request a hearing within 20 days, the secured party may obtain release of the vehicle by paying the towing, storage and abandoned vehicle fees.
