When do I pay my property taxes?

Tax bills are sent out every July 1 (summer bills) and December 1 (winter bills). Summer bills are due and payable July 1 - August 31. Winter tax bills are due and payable December 1 - February 14. Summer bills which are not paid on a timely basis are assessed a 4% penalty. Late summer also accrue an interest rate of ½ of 1% each month until they are paid in full. Winter bills which are not paid on a timely basis are assessed a 3% penalty.  Tax bills which are not paid by the end of February are turned over as delinquent to Oakland County.
