Tax Payment Information

  • Tax bills are mailed to property owners at the start of July (summer) and December (winter). If you have not received your bill by the end of the first week, please contact the township office for a copy.
  • Summer taxes are due by mid-September each year.
  • Winter taxes are due by February 28. After March 1, winter taxes are delinquent and payable only to Genesee County with a 4% one-time penalty plus 1% interest per month.
  • Delinquent Taxes: Taxes delinquent more than one year accrue interest at 1.5%/month, plus a $175 forfeiture fee and additional administrative charges.
  • For delinquent tax payoff contact: Genesee County Treasurer — (810) 257-3054 — gc4me.com

How to Calculate Your Tax Bill

  • Multiply the taxable value by the millage rate and divide by 1,000. Add any special assessments and a 1% property tax administration fee.

(Taxable Value × Millage Rate) ÷ 1,000 + Special Assessments + 1% Admin Fee

Tax Deferment

A deferral delays payment of summer taxes with no interest or penalty — ONLY if paid by February 15.

⚠ This is NOT a waiver of taxes owed.

Complete Form 471 and submit it to the Treasurer’s office by September 15, or before the date your summer taxes are due — whichever is later.

Credit Card Payments

The township accepts credit card payments for taxes, permits, police reports, and more. Payments must be made in person at the township office.

A bank processing fee of minimum $2.00 or 3% applies to all credit card transactions.
