Personal Property taxes (for business and commercial property):
Must be paid by March 1, and are payable ONLY to the Township Treasurer.
Delinquent Property Taxes:
Public Act 123 of 1999 changes the way delinquent property taxes are collected.
The County Treasurer may be required to sell a home or farm for non-payment of taxes after only three years:
When unpaid taxes are turned over to the County Treasurer in March, the County Treasurer will send several delinquent tax notices over the course of the year, beginning in June. If these taxes remain unpaid for three years, the home or farm may be forfeited to the County.
In addition, a fee of $175 is added to the back taxes and the interest rate is 1.5 percent per month computed retroactively to March 1st. If taxes remain unpaid for three years, the home or farm is foreclosed and sold during a series of auctions. There are agencies in Washtenaw County that can help individuals unable to pay their taxes.
Each agency has certain eligibility requirements, but they can provide concrete information and valuable advice even if an individual is not eligible for financial assistance. The County Treasurer’s Office can provide more detailed information specific to your situation if your taxes are delinquent.
