THE MISSION OF THE TREASURER’S OFFICE

The mission of the Treasurer’s Office is to ensure the convenient, timely and accurate billing and collection of taxes and fees, receipt of all payments to the City, and investment of those funds so as to maximize the financial resources available to meet the needs of the City while complying with all laws governing the deposit and investment of said funds.

Penalty on a late tax bill is 4%.

Tax payments are accepted at our office from July 1 through the end of February. Beginning March 1st of each year, all delinquent real property taxes are forwarded to Wayne County Treasurer’s Office for collection. You can visit their website or call 313-224-5990 for pay off information.

Personal Property Taxes

All taxes levied on business personal property are collected through the City Treasurer’s Office. Any business operating on December 31 of any year will be responsible for the next year’s entire billing cycle (both Summer and Winter bills). This is a State of Michigan law. Failure to pay Personal Property Taxes as billed may result in the placement of a Warrant of Distraint on said property and possible seizure of the property.
