Time Remains for Macomb Residents to Pay Winter Taxes in 2012

There's still time to have the payment of your winter taxes posted in 2012.

Through Jan. 1, 2013, the Macomb Township Treasurer's Office will accept any winter taxes deposited in the secure drop box at the rear entrance of the Town Hall as having been submitted in 2012. Payments can be deposited to the drop box 24 hours a day.

However, Treasurer Karen Goodhue reminds residents using the drop box to make their payment via check rather than cash to ensure proof of payment.

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.

Other Ways 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. The office will be closed Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

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

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.
