From March 1 through March 31 delinquent property taxes should be remitted to Patrick Dohaney, Oakland County Treasurer, 1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac MI 48341 after obtaining a revised statement from the City of Farmington Hills Treasury Division. After March 31, payments may be sent to Oakland County without a revised statement.

Payments of current property taxes may also be made at local branches of Bank of America, Citizens First, or dropped off in the night depository located near the Eleven Mile Road entrance to City Hall or the green drop box located on the traffic island between City Hall and the Police Station.
