Novine, here's a part of what's on that link:

"Adverse possession may not be established against the United States, or against any other governmental entity unless there is statutory authority. Specifically, adverse possession may not be established against a Michigan municipal corporation for the recovery of any public highway, street, alley or other public ground. However, in the recent case of Mason v City of Menominee, decided February 26, 2009, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld a lower court�s decision to grant title to a disputed parcel of municipal land to a private landowner under the doctrine of acquiescence. "

So you see, you cannot adverse possess a "public highway, street, alley or other public ground". It doesn't say anything about a tax-foreclosed residence. Unless I missed something?
