Summer taxes are mailed July 1st and are payable without penalty by September 30th.  If the 30th falls on a weekend, then the tax is due by 5:00 p.m. on the last business day of the month.  Beginning October 1st, a 3% penalty is added and 1/2 of 1% per month until paid.  Winter taxes are mailed December 1st and are due the following February 14th.  All Winter taxes not received on the 14th will incur a 3% penalty.  Postmarks will not be honored.   Beginning March 1st, all unpaid taxes must be paid to the 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 437-1735. Failure to receive a bill does not exempt you from payment. Please note that only one tax bill is mailed. Therefore, if your mortgage company is responsible for payment, the bill is sent directly to them.
