New Homeowners:

Tax bills are prepared in June and November. The transfer of property during that period can result in tax bills being directed to the previous owner rather than the new responsible party. New homeowners should call or stop in at the Township Hall to make certain they receive their tax bill. The Treasurer can be reached at 517 546-1588 or stop by the Treasurer’s office. Also, new homeowner’s need to make sure they file their Property Transfer Affidavit and Principal Residence Exemption forms as soon as possible to make sure you get the homestead credit.

The deferment on the principal residence may be claimed by any taxpayer who is totally and permanently disabled, a blind person, paraplegic, quadriplegic, eligible serviceperson, eligible veteran, or eligible widow or widower, as these persons are defined in Chapter 9 of the Income Tax Act of 1967, Act. NO. 281 of the Public Act of 1967, or who is 62 years of age or older, including the unmarried surviving spouse of a person who was 62 years of age or older at the time of death, and who for the prior taxable year had a total household income of $40,000 or less, and Agricultural Real Property.
