Every township is required to file an annual asset forfeiture report online with the Michigan State Police by Feb. 27, 2026, even if the local unit has no forfeitures to report. The report summarizes the local unit’s activities regarding the forfeiture of property under the Public Health Code (controlled substances), Identify Theft Protection Act, the Revised Judicature Act and Public Nuisance Act. Any property seized after Feb. 1, 2016, and forfeited (finalized) in 2025 must be described in Section C of the online survey. The 2026 Asset Forfeiture Report and 2026 Asset Forfeiture Report Instructions can be found here. If you fail to complete the survey by Feb. 27, your township will be listed in the 2026 Asset Forfeiture Report as having failed to properly report the information required under the law. Questions on the report should be directed to peacockb@michigan.gov or (517) 449-2985.
