Not all historical auction data has been imported into the site yet.
All auctions are handled by and facilitated by Detroit Police Department.
Seeing vehicles on an auction list does not guarantee they were sold; owners may reclaim vehicles until the auction.
The income amount assumes vehicles before July 1, 2025 sold for a minimum of $500 and later vehicles for at least $1,000, so actual totals may be higher.
All data public and free from DetroitMI.gov.
Data may have about a 0.5% margin of error because VINs and related details are hand entered by police and tow yards.
