Tax Information

Every July and December, property owners receive their tax bill in the mail.  Some owners may have their property taxes escrowed within their mortgage payment.  If requested by the escrow agent, the Township will provide them the appropriate tax amount.  However, it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that their taxes are paid in full.

Yearly property tax rolls are closed on the last day of February every year.  Any unpaid real estate taxes are then turned over to the Bay County Treasurer for collection.

Yes, credit/debit cards can be used to pay taxes in person, online, or over the phone. There is a processing fee charged by our third-party processor.  The fee is 3.00% of the transaction with a $2.00 minimum.  You can also authorize a debit directly from your account.  The fee for a pre-authorized debit transaction is $3.00 for amounts under $10,000 and $10.00 for anything over $10,000.  You will need to create a sign on through our website to access your tax information and payment button will be available there the first day of collection for that tax season.
