Tax Information
Summer Taxes
Taxes are due and payable from July 1st until September 14th. Depending on which day of the week September 14th falls on each year, the last day to pay summer taxes without penalty may be adjusted. Please refer to your tax bill for the actual due date. Penalty begins immediately following the due date.
Winter Taxes
Taxes are due and payable from December 1st until the following February 14th. Depending on which day of the week February 14th falls on each year, the last day to pay winter taxes without penalty may be adjusted. Please refer to your tax bill for the actual due date. Penalty begins immediately following the due date.
Property Tax Escrow
Every July and December, property owners receive their tax bill in the mail. Some owners may have their property taxes escrowed within their mortgage payment. If requested by the escrow agent, the Township will provide them the appropriate tax amount. However, it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that their taxes are paid in full.
Last Day to Pay Yearly Taxes at the Township
Yearly property tax rolls are closed on the last day of February every year. Any unpaid real estate taxes are then turned over to the Bay County Treasurer for collection.
Can I Pay my Taxes with a Credit Card?
No, the financial institution that services the credit card machine charges additional fees for every transaction that is processed. This fee would only increase the cost of collecting taxes, which in turn would cause taxes to increase for everyone because this fee cannot be assessed to only those that use the service.
Please contact the office of the Treasurer at (989) 684-8531 if you have any questions.
