Macomb Township's 2012 Winter Taxes are Due

Taxes are payable Dec. 1 through Feb. 14, 2013 without penalty. Late fees increased to 3 percent.

Did you receive your 2012 winter tax bill in the mail this weekend? If not, chances are good it’s probably on its way to your box. 

Winter taxes are payable from Dec. 1, 2012 through Feb. 14, 2013 without penalty in Macomb Township. After Feb. 14, a 3 percent late fee is assessed through Feb. 28, 2013. Last year, residents who failed to pay on time were charged a 1 percent late fee. 

As of March 1, all unpaid taxes are forwarded to the Macomb County Treasurer for payment. At this stage additional penalties are added by the county.

How to Pay

To pay your taxes in person, bring your entire tax bill to the Treasurer's Office, 54111 Broughton Road, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Taxes can be made with cash, check or money order.

A secure drop box, where payments can be deposited 24 hours a day, is located at the top of the ramp by the rear entrance of the Town Hall.   

Treasurer Karen Goodhue does not recommend placing cash payments in the drop box. "Bringing your cash payment into the office guarantees you proof of payment," she said. 

Taxes can also be paid online with a debit or credit card. Convenience fees are applied to all payments except fund transfers from a bank account.

A kiosk is also available in Town Hall to allow residents to process debit or credit card payments on site. The Treasurer's Office cannot process such payments, but the kiosk provides a direct connection to the township's online bill pay service. The kiosk is located in the town hall lobby.
