Summer and Winter Taxes May Still be Paid at the Township Hall

Both Summer and Winter taxes may be paid only at the Township Hall on or before March 1, 2010. Since March 1 is a Monday, we will be open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for taxes only. The amount that is now due for unpaid taxes includes interest and penalty. Please contact the Deputy Treasurer Lori Hurst for the current amount at 655-3193.

Tax payments need to actually arrive in the office in order to be processed - postmarks cannot be accepted as a payment date. Tax payments can also be left in the bronze drop slot beneath the bulletin board by the front entry of the township hall, only if payment is made by check, and the stub from the bottom of the tax bill is included with the check. Residents should not leave cash in the drop slot.

Payments that are in the drop box or Township mailbox by the start of business on Tuesday , March 2 will be considered to have arrived on March 1. All taxpayers who pay by mail or in the drop slot will receive an official property tax receipt by return mail, only if they have requested one by checking the box on their tax stub.

State law requires an additional charge of 1% of the tax owed to be charged on the first day they are delinquent and the first of every month that taxes are unpaid after the due date, plus a penalty of 3% after February 16, 2010. For summer taxes this is an additional charge of 9% and for winter taxes an additional charge of 4%. Taxes still unpaid after March 1, 2010 must be turned over to the Ingham County Treasurer for collection, which involves additional fees for the taxpayer.

REMINDER: Anyone eligible for a Summer Deferment must also have their application in before the start of business on September 16.
