Property Taxes
For questions on property taxes, please
call (248) 871-2480.
Summer Property Taxes
Summer property taxes
are mailed on or about July 1 of each
year. Payment may be made without penalty and interest from July 1
through August 31, or the first business day thereafter. After
August 31 a four per cent (4%) penalty and a one-half per cent
(1/2%) per month (or portion thereof) interest charge is added.
Delinquent summer property taxes may be paid at the Treasury
office until February 28.
Winter Property Taxes
Winter property taxes
are mailed on or about December 1 of
each year. Payment may be made without penalty and interest from
December 1 through February 14, or the first business day
thereafter. After February 14 a four per cent (4%) penalty and a
one-half per cent (1/2%) interest charge is added. Delinquent
winter property taxes may be paid at the Treasury office until
February 28.
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 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.
Deferment of summer property taxes until
February 14 is available for eligible senior citizens and
handicapped persons. Applications forms are available at the
Treasury Division and must be filed by September 15 of the tax
year.
By law, failure to receive a tax bill does
not waive the tax or any penalty and interest for late payment.
The 2008 Tax Rates are shown below.
* PRE stands for "principal residence exemption."
The PRE rate is used by those who own and occupy a home as their
principal residence. PRE properties are exempt from the
school operating tax.
