Oakland County Treasurer with additional penalties. If you are expecting a bill and do not receive one, please contact the Treasurer’s Office immediately at (248) 437-1735.

Public Act 357 of 2004 provides a funding mechanism to serve as a substitute to county revenue sharing payments. This substitute funding mechanism involves a gradual shift of county property tax millage from a winter tax levy to a summer tax levy and additionally, requires the establishment of a restricted fund to be know as the Revenue Sharing Reserve Fund. Tax levy shift - The gradual shift from a winter tax levy to a summer tax levy will occur as follows: In 2005, 1/3 of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summerIn 2006, 2/3 of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summer. In 2007, and each year after, all of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summer Payments All you need to do is send in the top portion of the tax statement with your check or money order to the Treasurer’s Office.
Payment must be made in full as we do not accept partial payments. Keep the bottom portion of your tax statement as your receipt along with your canceled check. No receipts will be mailed back. Note: Checks are accepted only as conditional payment of taxes, and if payment is denied upon presentation to the bank, the tax will be restored as unpaid to the roll without further notice and will be subject to all interest and penalty charges.
Payments will be recorded on the date received. Postmarks will NOT be honored.
